The temporary bypasses to facilitate traffic flow at Miles 1 and 12 on the Lethem road- which was eroded- have been completed, a release from the Ministry of Public Infrastructure said yesterday.
Engineers from the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and V. Dalip Enterprise were able to complete the short-term structure on Saturday afternoon. Heavy duty vehicles can now ply the route.
Meanwhile, plans are afoot to build two bridges instead of culverts as part of the Ministry’s long term solution, the release said.
