The road remained closed for traffic since June 18 after flood water from the Kaligandai river swept away the road in Bhirkate at Ghar VDC of Myagdi.[break]
It took a week for the Department of Roads to renovate the damaged part of the road and has been temporarily opened for traffic after carrying out a filling in the retaining wall covering 150 meters, said the Department´s Engineer Amit Shrestha.
Daily life of residents in the more than a dozen VDCs in northern belt of Myagdi had been affected while food supply to Mustang had come to a halt as a result of the closure of the road.
Though traffic has resumed following the renovation there is still risk of inundation by the river, and regular traffic could still be a problem, said Vice-chair of Myagdi Jeep and Bus Entrepreneurs Committee, Mohan KC.
