Of the 42 major roads in the district, 24 have suffered significant damage, making it difficult for the operation of traffic. The postal road, Bardibas-Jaleswar road, Jaleswar-Janakpur road among others have been obstructed for traffic, Chief District Officer Umesh Kumar Dhakal said.
As a result, the majority of the regions of the district have been cut off from the district headquarters Jaleswar for lack of road transportation. Renovation of the road has been expedited while a bailey bridge is being constructed over the Bhabsi River in Bardibas along the East-West highway, CDO Dhakal said.
The concrete bridge over the Bhabsi River was swept away by flood waters last Friday night.
