DHADING: The Naubise-Nagadhunga road section will remain closed tonight due to the construction of the bridge over the Naubise River along the Highway.

Ishwar Bahadur Rijal, Senior Division Engineer of Nagdhunga-Muglin Road Project (Eastern Section) said that the work will be stopped for five hours from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM during the night.

“The RCC beam (precast bridge girder) of the bridge is built on the ground outside the bridge. It will have to be lifted by a crane and placed on the pillar on both sides of the bridge”, Rijal said.
