There is a high custom of leaving the vehicle at the customs point even if it is believed in the weight mentioned in the bill, and even if there is a weighbridge, it is not used, nor is the guideline on the regulation of the load of cargo vehicles - 2074 implemented.

Although the bridge is old, the problem of breaking the new bridge has also increased due to overloading. More than 12,000 vehicles pass through this road every day. After traffic was blocked, diversions were made in the river and vehicles were brought into operation. More than 9 times, the flood washed away the diversion itself, passengers and vehicles had to bear the suffering. After about 6 months, the problem ended last Thursday when the under-construction bridge near the broken bridge became operational. Now drivers and passengers feel relief in the journey. 

The Girubari river bridge in Chormara of Nawalparasi, which is on the same road section, was also broken on May 29 due to overloading. After the bridge was broken, a temporary diversion was made in the river and vehicles were allowed to flow. The work of the bridge which has been started on the side has not been completed yet. Narayan Lamichhane, Head of Road Division Office, Bharatpur said that the work of placing the beam of the bridge has been completed and the work above the beam is yet to be done. 

In July 2072, when a tripper and a truck tried to cross the bridge together, the Jayashree bridge of Nawalparasi was broken. The bridge was broken when overloaded vehicles were trying to cross. For a long time the driver and passengers had to suffer. Later, a temporary belay bridge was constructed and the vehicle was put into operation. Currently, a new bridge has been constructed and is operational in this section. The problem of bridge breaking due to vehicles carrying more than capacity is increasing recently. 

This kind of accident happens due to the vehicles coming from the customs point carrying twice more than their capacity. Due to the vehicles carrying iron goods from the border, not only the bridge but also the highway is crushed, the problem of black sheet collapse has increased. Earlier, this problem was more on the Nagadhunga-Muglin road section, because cargo vehicles enter the capital through that road. 

This road is currently being upgraded. A separate 'climbing' lane has been made for goods vehicles on this road. From the side from which the loaded vehicles come, the road is blocked. As a result, the road is high on one side and low on the other side. Now this problem is more in Pathlaiya-Amlekhganj section. Deepak Lamichhane, Head of Birgunj Customs Office, said that there is no problem with the vehicle that can be turned over (with luggage) and that there is a problem with not being able to turn over. 

Vehicles carrying goods from India turn around at the checkpoint (drop the goods) and return. The goods are carried by another vehicle and brought to Nepal. "Large vehicles carrying iron materials go directly to the industry, the goods of such vehicles cannot be turned over," Lamichhane said. Such vehicles mostly reach Simra only from the customs point. He claims that the weight of the vehicles coming in this way is only measured and sent. "There is a fork inside the ICP (integrated check post), so we only send vehicles after measuring the weight," he added, "There are not many vehicles carrying iron goods, only five/seven a day." 

Ramprasad Regmi, Head of Bhairahawa Customs Office, Behlia Rupandehi, said that the weight of the vehicles that come with more loads is weighed at the checkpoint. "The roads and bridges have not been damaged due to the vehicles coming through this checkpoint with heavy loads," he said, "We are paying attention not to damage the roads and bridges inside Nepal, and we are only sending them after checking the weight." The problem is also on the road that brings goods from Rani Customs in Biratnagar. 

granite, hydro power and transport vehicles have more carrying capacity. Although there is a weighbridge at the Krishnanagar customs office in Kapilvastu, it is not at Sutholi. According to the customs office, a weighbridge is currently being constructed at that location. A technical employee of the road department said that when the weight of vehicles carrying loads is left without checking the weight of some customs checkpoints, it affects the bridges and roads. "The load of vehicles coming from the customs is high, some vehicles try to evade the weighbridges placed at the checkpoint," said the employee, "There is a problem due to the cargo vehicles coming through the customs checkpoint, and not all customs have weighbridges." 

It is claimed by the road department source that vehicles are left at the customs checkpoint even by believing the weight mentioned in the bill. Although there is a weighbridge, vehicles are not allowed to drive through it. Although the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport has issued the Guidelines on Load Regulation of Freight Vehicles, 2074 on Chait 16, 2074, it is not being implemented. The standard states that the maximum axle load of the front axle of the cargo vehicle is 6 tonnes. According to the standard, two axles (6 wheels) can carry 16.2 tons, three axle trucks can carry 25 tons, four axle trucks (12 wheels) can carry 31 tons, four axles (14 wheels) can carry 30 tons and five axles (18 wheels) can carry 40.2 tons.

Stones, trippers carrying ballast, wagons carrying iron goods have higher loads. An engineer of the road department said that it should be tightened as it will be known only after checking the capacity of the weighbridge to carry the load. If it is found that the load is more than the capacity, it should be controlled, the customs should be strict, but that has not happened. If we only calculate the revenue, the bridges and roads built at the cost of crores are getting damaged every year," said the engineer. The engineer who was to design the road said that one axle should not carry more than 10.2 tons.

"If 15 tons come instead of 10 tons, the road will be damaged," he said. Similarly, local roads are designed for up to 10 years. "Roads designed to last for 20 years are damaged within five years due to load vehicles," said the engineer.

Cargo vehicles carrying more goods are moving everywhere, there are potholes. The highways are narrow. As a result, the road has to be repaired every year. "When vehicles with more than the specified capacity are crossing the bridge, it reduces the life of the bridge," said the engineer, "It is written that how many vehicles can be loaded at the mouth of the bridge." But it has not been implemented. The Department of Transportation should be strict about it, but it has not been done. 

In recent times, damage to highway bridges due to vehicles with high load capacity is increasing, says Vijay Jaisi, director general of the road department. "The Binayi and Girubari river bridges on the Narayangadh-Butwal road were broken due to their overload capacity," he added, "due to which it took some time to manage the traffic."

Dharmakanta has been operational since January 18, 2077 in Chitwan's Anptari, but it has been closed for two months. Pradeep Acharya, an employee of the weighbridge, said that the weighbridge was closed after the vehicle coming for weighing fell on Baisakh 9 and broke the beam. At the same time, a weighbridge was constructed at Bardibas in Mahottari. This bridge has also been damaged for two months. Freight vehicles do not have to pay a fee for checking the weight here. Due to lack of proper monitoring and enforcement, such weighbridges are becoming ineffective. Even though the vehicle carrying more load has a weighbridge, the agency that takes action is silent. 

Srikant Yadav, Head of Vehicle Testing, International Transport Management, Transport and Vehicle Standardization Branch under the Transportation Management Department, said that the repair of the broken Dharmakanta has been started. He said, "The monitoring department will check whether or not the weight has been checked in Dharamkanta. We have not been able to do that due to the lack of manpower," he said, "This work has been done by the traffic police."

"We did not carry more load than specified in the vehicle registration book," Yadav said. According to him, the weight bridge built by the private sector is in operation. From the private sector, Itahari, Hariwan in Sarlahi, Chiabari in Sindhuli, Dharke in Dhading, Vijaypur in Pokhara, Tilakpur in Navalarparasi (there is a problem due to road construction), Ramnagar in Butwal, Bhumhi in Navalparasi, Lumbini (near Buddhachowk), Chandrauta Jitpur in Kapilvastu, Lamhi in Dang, Ranjha in Nepalganj, Lamki in Kailali, Attaria in Dhangadhi. The weigh bridge is operational on the road.
