MANGAN, 15 March: The road from Mangan to Chungthang will remain closed to traffic till 20 March in view of the strengthening of the Rechu (Rel khola) Iron Bridge connecting the two towns, informed BRO officials posted in the area.
The strengthening of the Rechu bridge in North Sikkim which is around 20 kms from Mangan towards Chungthang by the BRO and Army Engineering division started on 12 March. The iron bridge which had become weak and was posing problems for heavy vehicles will be further widened, it is informed.
As there is no alternative route the BRO has urged people of Chungthang, Lachen, Lachung and Saffo to cooperate for the future benefit of all. Meanwhile, commuters are plying through transshipment at this spot.
