BRO begins restoring Keylong-Udaipur road
After rescuing people stranded in the Lahaul valley, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) today started the work to restore the Keylong-Udaipur road in Lahaul and Spiti on a war footing.
A flash flood on July 27 had damaged four bridges on the Keylong-Udaipur-Killar road, snapping connectivity between Udaipur and Keylong completely.
According to BRO sources, as of now, all landslide debris has been cleared from the Keylong-Udaipur road. A bailey bridge is being installed over the Madgram nullah and an approach road to the Thirot bridge has been restored. A makeshift footbridge has been established on the Jahlama nullah and the work on an alternate route is in progress. A 56-feet improvised footbridge was installed over the Shansha nullah, besides an approach road to the Shansha bridge was partially restored. A bailey bridge is under construction on the Jahlama nullah.
