The Kuri-Gongri bridge in Monggar will be reconstructed within two months. The Infrastructure and Transport Minister assured this during the meet the press session yesterday. The minister said the modular bridge with a carrying capacity of 50 metric tonnes will be constructed for temporary use. The government plans to construct a concrete bridge in a different location for permanent use which will take a longer time to complete. The Kuri-Gongri bridge, which connects Gyalpozhing in Monggar and Nganglam in Pema Gatshel, collapsed twice this year, in May and in June.

Infrastructure and Transport Minister Dorji Tshering said that it is going to take about two years to construct a permanent bridge over the river because it is going to be constructed with concrete.

“We are not going to construct this bridge in two to three months. But as we need to construct a bridge immediately for commuters in the same place where the old bridge has collapsed, we are going to build a modular bridge as a temporary measure. We have already placed the orders for the materials and also made the payments”, he added.
