Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

December 13: The Chinese government has proposed to rebuild the Araniko Highway, which is the first highway to connect Nepal and China. Various sections of the highway have been damaged by earthquakes and recurring floods.

The Chinese government has proposed to rebuild the highway at a cost of 80 million yuan (Rs 1.44 billion).

 The Chinese embassy has sent a proposal for reconstructing the Araniko Highway damaged by the 2072 earthquakes and subsequent landslides as well as repeated floods, according to the Development Aid Implementation Division under the Department of Roads (DoR).

 Even though the Chinese government has pledged to rebuild the highway, the repair work is unlikely to begin immediately. Department of Roads informed that the Chinese construction team is unlikely to arrive due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

 According to the Department of Roads, the Chinese government has proposed to rebuild the section from Panchkhal to Kodari of Araniki Highway.

 According to the proposal, the road will not be upgraded but reconstruction work will be done in the places damaged by the earthquake and rain. Roads have been damaged in more than 60 locations across the highway.

 At present, it is difficult to operate traffic on the highway due to damages that occurred at the bridges as well as road sections in Kothe, Lamosanghu Barhabise, Khursanibari, Sirise, Khagdol, Jambu, Jhale, Daklank, Upper Bhotekoshi Dam area and Ghatte Khola.
