The construction work of the BP highway, which was damaged due to the floods that occurred between October 10th and 12th, has not yet started. Due to lack of budget release on time, the construction work has been affected.

The road department has said that it is studying about starting the construction work quickly. The director general of the department, Ramhari Pokharel, said that the final report would be prepared within 15 days and then the construction work would begin after securing resources from the government. It is estimated to cost about 7 billion rupees for its construction.

'Study work is being done now,' Director General Pokharel said, 'After the final study report, it will be determined how much it will cost.' According to him, the source assurance has been requested from the government. "No decision has been made on this," he said, "it will take three days to finalize the contract process after the source is assured." He said that the study is being done under the leadership of Road Division Bhaktapur.

Director General Pokharel said that a budget has been requested from the government in such a way that vehicles can run in the coming monsoon and construction of sustainable structures is done simultaneously. He said that it is a big challenge to run the BP highway in drought and we should prepare accordingly from now. "We have not talked to any donor agency for the construction," he said.

The 12 km road of Kavrevanjang-Nepalthok section has been damaged by landslides . Its 8.7 km road section is washed away by the Roshi River. At present, temporary diversions have been made and the means of transport have been operated . But due to the high volume of traffic, daily traffic jams are a problem. More than 7 thousand vehicles pass through this road a day. Due to the one-way traffic in difficult sections, there are more traffic jams . There are preparations to make a bridge to straighten the road in the places where there are various difficulties and problems.
