Although a study carried out by engineers after the 'Gorkha' quake shows that there were no huge damages to the concrete bridges across the country, some damages have been seen on the Larcha bridge over the Bhotekoshi River and two friendship bridges linking Rasuwa and Tibet.
The Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport Management is to deploy a high-level delegation to carry out extensive study in this regard.
The Ministry said that the goods brought from Tibet have been stocked in tankers near the Larcha bridge after goods-loaded vehicles could not operate through the bridge due to bits risky condition.
Though a friendship bridge linking Kodari and Tibet is into operation even if it is in a dilapidated condition after developing cracks, Ministry Secretary Tulasi Prasad Sitaula said a high-level delegation from the Department of Roads is to be deployed at the initiative of the ministry to carry out broad study in it.
According to the Department of Roads, the delegation is going to be deployed for technical study after a friendship bridge of Rasuwagadhi developed cracks like Kodari bridge.
Director General of the Department, Madhav Kumar Karki, said a technical team from China would also carryout study about the condition of three bridges as well as our team would also carry out a separate study. RSS
