Nagdhunga-Naubise road to remain closed for over four hours daily from today

Kathmandu: The Nagdhunga-Naubise road, one of the major entry points to the Kathmandu Valley, will remain closed for vehicular movements for four and a half hours daily starting today.

The road section will remain shut from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm. According to the officials at the Narayangadh-Muglin Road Project (eastern section), it is effective till June 8. The project authority decided to close down the road section for certain hours a day to facilitate the construction of a road along the Nagdhunga-Pipalamod section.

Chief District Officer of Kathmandu, Rishiram Tiwari, confirmed that the road would be closed for traffic movements to ease construction under the Narayangadh-Muglin road section.

During the closure of the road section, vehicles travelling out of Kathmandu will be temporarily stopped at Nagdhunga and while those entering Kathmandu from Naubise will be halted at Khanikhola, it was shared.

Traffic police have urged the travelers on this road to consider alternative routes such as Dharke-Sitapaila and Tokha-Chahare-Trishuli-Galchi during the closure.
