POKHARA: The flooded Seti River has damaged a motorable bridge linking two wards of Pokhara Metropolitan City, disrupting transportation.
The river swollen due to torrential rain since Saturday night has eroded the foundation of the bridge, said the Division Road Office, Pokhara, adding that as a result, people’s mobility through the damaged bridge poses risk.
Structures of the bridge should be relocated to elsewhere, the road office said.
The river has damaged pillars of the bridge, said Pushpendra Pandey, ward chair of the metropolis-19.
The 72 meters long and 7 meters wide bridge was constructed five years ago by the road office.
Similarly, the river also eroded another road linking Bharawari and Kavre, disrupting transportation, said a local school teacher Santosh Acharya.
