RASUWA – The Chinese side has started the construction of a Bailey Bridge under the first phase of resuming the border check point between China and Nepal.

The Bailey Bridge is being constructed some two meters east of the current place where the concrete bridge was located, according to Chief District Officer of Rasuwa Arjun Poudel.

The Chinese side has already brought the necessary tools for the bridge. With the help of four excavators, work has already progressed to bring the water to the previous level at the ground level of Lhende river.

Poudel also informed that he has received information from his Chinese counterpart that the construction of the Bailey Bridge will be completed by mid-September.

It may be noted that the Miteri Bridge at Rasuwagadhi, the northern border post between Nepal and China, was washed away by the Lhende River on 8 July. The 10-meter wide and 100-meter long bridge was completely washed away bringing the check point to a halt.
