Wooden crossing reopens road to Upper Manang after three-week closure

A makeshift wooden crossing has been established over a submerged bridge on the Marshyangdi River, restoring road access to Upper Manang. The development follows a three-week closure that had isolated the upper valley from the rest of the region.

The new crossing is currently facilitating the passage of jeeps and motorcycles. This restoration of connectivity is significant for local transport, as it reopens the primary route that had been rendered impassable by the submerged infrastructure.
