Talnu-Dunai section to be upgraded at a cost of Rs 1.73 billion

Half a dozen rivers and streams in the middle of the Bheri Corridor are yet to be bridged. In the absence of motorable bridges, Dolpa is reduced to an internal road network for six months during each monsoon season.

The Talnu-Dunai section of the Bheri Corridor is set to be upgraded. The contract, which is being awarded in two sections, has been signed at a cost of Rs 1.73 billion.

The Bheri Corridor Office, Jajarkot, has stated that the section will be upgraded with blacktop. According to the office's engineer Achyut Pant, a contract has been awarded for the Talnu-Triveni section upgrade at Rs 880 million, while the Triveni-Tripurakot section has been awarded for Rs 850 million.

'CAB Construction has taken over the construction of the Talnu-Triveni section at a 31 percent lower rate, while the Mainachuli Sisne JV has taken over the upgrade of the Triveni-Tripurakot section at a 42 percent lower rate,' said Engineer Pant.

SAB signed the contract agreement last Asad and Mainachuli in Asoj. But both have not started work yet.

The total length of the Talnu-Tripurakot road section is about 48 kilometers. Half a dozen rivers and streams in the corridor are yet to be concreted. Due to the lack of motorable bridges, Dolpa is cut off from the internal road network for six months during the rainy season every year.

The Bheri Corridor runs from Chhinchu in Surkhet to Morimla checkpoint in Upper Dolpa, and the total length of this road is 371 kilometers. The Bheri Corridor is also known as the trilateral road connecting China, Nepal, and India. Dolpa was connected to the national road network through this corridor in 2017.
