Floods wash away diversions, BP Highway reblocked again

Kavrepalanchok, April 29

The BP Highway has been completely obstructed again after continuous rainfall washed away temporary diversions at multiple points.

Diversions constructed on Monday were swept away Tuesday night by flooding in the Roshi River, leading to the renewed closure of the highway.

According to Inspector Ishwor Karki, chief of the Area Police Office Mangaltar, the river washed away diversions at Chaukidanda, Ghumaune, Narke, Chiuribas, Kaladhunga, Dalabesi, Buldhunga, and Mamti.

Due to the damage at various sections, vehicles have been held at Mangaltar, Bhakunde, Kavrebhanjyang, and Dhulikhel in Kavre district, as well as Nepal Thok and Khurkot in Sindhuli.

Police said vehicles stranded in Dhulikhel have already been rerouted via Charikot. Preparations are underway to send 16 passengers from four electric vehicles held in Mangaltar toward Dhulikhel through the Temal road.

Authorities have urged travellers planning to use the BP Highway to take alternative routes. For updates, the public has been advised to contact Nepal Police at 100 or Traffic Police at 103.
