A concrete bridge has been built over the Dudhkoshi River connecting the Khumbu region with the world's highest peak Mount Everest. A motorable bridge has been constructed on Dudhkoshi River at Chirdi Ghat in Solukhumbu's Solududhakunda Municipality-1 Taksindu and Mapyadudhkoshi Rural Municipality-1 Juving.

The foundation stone of the bridge, which was built with the federal government's budget on the initiative and coordination of Solududhkunda Municipality, was laid two and a half years ago by Namgeljangbu Sherpa, the head of Solududhkunda Municipality. The concrete bridge, which is seen as very important from a tourist point of view, was constructed by Mahadev Khimti Hirachan JV at a cost of Rs 7 crore 6 lakh 33 thousand. 

This bridge will be very effective to go to Khumbu, the world's most attractive tourist area, and the route to Khumbu will also be short, simple and easy, said Mayor Sherpa. "Since the bridge was built in a technically and geographically sustainable and strong place, there is no chance of damage to the bridge even in a minor natural disaster," Sherpa said. Chongbala, a local Sherpa, said that after the construction of the bridge, there will be easy transportation in the Khumbu area, so the price of daily consumables will be cheaper. 

Earlier, the motorized bridge built at Orlanghat of Dudhkoshi River with the joint investment of Mapyadudhkoshi and Khumbu Pasanglhamu Rural Municipality was damaged due to flood.
