नेपालीलाई खुसीको खबर : सितापाइला बाट नौबिसे सम्म नेपालको पहिलो सुरुङमार्ग यसरी बन्दैछ धमाधम कसरी र कस्तो बनैदै छ नेपाल कै सबै भन्दा पहिलो सुरुङमार्ग ? || हेर्नुहोस भिडियो सहित
The 14-km Naubise-Nagdhunga stretch can take what seems like an eternity to traverse for the weary passengers trying to enter the national capital by road. Long lines of vehicles, big and small, wind their way down from the chicken-neck of Nagdhunga check-post, waiting for the police inspection at the check-post after which they can roll into Kathmandu Valley. On an average day, you will spend at least an hour on this stretch, queued up, as your vehicle inches its way forward. But there would have been no need to wait for so long had there been a straight road between Naubise and Nagdhunga. In fact, when (if) the proposed 2.5-km tunnel road between the two destinations is completed by its 2022 deadline, this travel time will be cut to no more than 10 minutes. So it comes as great news to frequent travelers on this dusty and dilapidated road that the cabinet has just approved a soft loan for the road tunnel worth Rs 18 billion that is being extended by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The Department of Roads will now start working on what will be the first tunnel road project in Nepal.
