Kaligandaki Corridor: Motorable Bridge Constructed Over Setokhola Stream

Saturday, 18 October 2025

A motorable bridge has been constructed over the Setokhola stream in Thasang Rural Municipality3, Mustang, under the BeniJomsomKorala section of the Kaligandaki Corridor roadway - a national pride project connecting China and India.

The BeniJomsomKorala Road Project Office, Mustang, completed the construction of the 25-metre-long motorable bridge, ending the need to ferry vehicles across the Setokhola River.

According to the Project Office’s Information Officer, Bishnu Chapagain, the 11-metre-wide RCC bridge was built for Rs 63 million 579 thousand 696.

Chapagain informed that 13 out of the 24 motorable bridges planned along the 202-kilometre-long BeniJomsomKorala road have already been completed.

He added that the construction of two additional motorable bridges - over the Kaihku and Kowang rivers in Thasang Rural Municipality - is now in its final stages.
