BHIMDUTTANAGAR: The construction of a four-lane bridge over the Mahakali River at Bhimdutta municipality-12, Odali has been adversely affected due to the shortage of stone and soil.
It requires some 600,000 cube meter soil for the construction of the pond dam on both sides of the bridge. However, the problem has arisen when the clause of stone and soil was not part of the contract agreement.
The plan is to construct a 5,200-meter dam along both sides of the bridge – considered to be the commercial checkpoint of the far-western region.
Engineer Kishor Raj Pandey, who has been involved in the construction of the bridge, informed that the contract has included the construction of two dams, each with a length of 2,600 meters on both sides of the bridge.
He said that the construction of the dam has not been initiated as the process for variation for soil has yet to be completed.
The dam construction requires around 150,000 large-size stones, which has not been arranged yet.
