Bridge collapses in Chormara, blocking East-West Highway



BUTWAL: The Chormara bridge along the Kathmandu–Narayanghat–Butwal road section has collapsed, disrupting traffic on the East-West Highway since last night.

Following the collapse of the main bridge, vehicles are being rerouted via an alternative path: Chormara–Tandi–Daunbari–Baruwa–Bhandara–Girubari River, exiting through Herbstar toward Arunkhola or Chowrangi.

Fortunately, there is currently no water in the river at the bridge site, allowing vehicles to cross the riverbed without difficulty.
