KATHMANDU: Vehicular movement has been suspended along sections of the BP Highway in Kavrepalanchowk and Sindhuli, as well as the Hilsa–Simkot road section in Humla, due to possible flooding risks and ongoing road construction work.
According to a notice issued today by the Nepal Police Headquarters, traffic movement along the Khurkot–Nepalthok–Katunjebesi section of the BP Highway has been halted because of the potential threat of flooding.
Police stated that all vehicles will be prohibited from operating on the affected road section daily from 5:00 PM to 5:00 AM starting May 4, until further notice.
Similarly, traffic has also been suspended along the Hilsa–Simkot road section due to road widening works underway in the Chhyaduk area of Namkha Rural Municipality-2.
Police said vehicular movement on the route has been stopped because excavation work between Chhyaduk Hotel and Chhyachhara has increased the risk of falling rocks and landslides along the road corridor.
