A contractor in Nepal, Shailendra Raj Pyakurel, swiftly rebuilt a 268-metre suspension bridge over the Trishuli river after devastating floods isolated local communities. Utilizing funds from the construction industry itself, Pyakurel completed the vital crossing in just one month. The project cost Rs17.5 million, significantly less than the government’s initial estimate—almost half the predicted expense. This rapid reconstruction restored crucial connectivity for residents previously cut off by the floodwaters. The new bridge ensures the continued movement of people and goods across the Trishuli river. Pyakurel’s initiative demonstrates an efficient alternative to traditional government-led infrastructure projects in Nepal.
