Tilottama (Rupandehi), Feb 18: The Road Division Office, Butwal is set to reconstruct a dozen bridges over the Tinau River in Rupandehi.
The construction of motor able bridges over the River had begun
in 2067 BS. Among them, the construction of bridges except the one located
nearby Butwal suspension bridge has yet to be completed.
According to the office, 11 bridges are under construction right
at the moment. Considering the inconvenience to cross Tinau River especially in
the Rainy Season, the bridge construction has been expedited to ease the
movements, shared Road Division Office Spokesperson Engineer Jaya Lal Marasini.
The bridge construction drive is moving ahead at the cost of
around Rs 1 billion.
Many bridges are being constructed on the roads linking Gautam
Buddha's birthplace, Lumbini, from the East-West Highway. The bridge
construction drive that started in 2067 BS is likely to be completed by 2076
BS.
The bridges are expected to shorten the travel distance to the
rural areas of Rupandehi from Butwal. The construction of bridge linking
Butwal-13 Devinagar and Motipur has expedited in a way to complete the works
within a couple of months.
Likewise, the reconstruction of suspension bridge nearby
Commerce Campus has been paced up as it was swept away by the last year's
flood. RSS
