KATHMANDU: Heavy floods and landslides have severely damaged six key points on Nepal’s major highways, causing complete road blockages, while five other locations operate with one-way traffic.

The affected routes include Koshi Highway, Mechi Highway, Tamor Corridor, Kaligandaki Corridor, Shaheed Highway, and Bheri Corridor.

Nepal Police reported that Koshi Highway is fully blocked at Barun (Sankhuwasabha), Mechi Highway at Hewakhola (Panchthar), and Tamor Corridor at Tumbewa (Panchthar) due to floods.

Floods also cut off Kaligandaki Corridor at Tarangkhola (Nawalpur), landslides blocked Shaheed Highway in Thabang (Rolpa), and flooding closed Bheri Corridor at Risigar (Western Rukum).

One-way traffic is in effect on Kathmandu–Nuwakot road (Tokha, Kathmandu), Mid-Hill Highway (Baglung), Kaligandaki Corridor (Baglung), and parts of Shaheed Highway (Rolpa) due to rainfall and landslides.

Authorities are monitoring and working to reopen all routes.
