Recent late-September rains in Nepal have caused an estimated Rs65.1 million (over $500,000 USD) in damage to the Kaligandaki Corridor. The heavy rainfall triggered landslides and caused sections of road to subside, disrupting traffic flow throughout the region. Further compounding the issue, construction on nine unfinished bridges along the Kaligandaki Corridor is now projected to cost an additional Rs720 million. This increased expense is likely due to repair work needed following the adverse weather conditions. The corridor, vital for transportation in Nepal, is facing significant setbacks due to the monsoon season’s impact. Authorities are assessing the full extent of the damage and working to restore connectivity. The delays and increased costs will likely impact regional development plans.
