Dodhara Chandani Bridge, Steel suspension footbridge in Kanchanpur District, Nepal
Description
The Dodhara Chandani Bridge is a steel suspension footbridge crossing the Mahakali River in Kanchanpur District. Eight tall pylons support the structure, which carries pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles along its narrow steel deck.
History
The bridge opened in 2005 as the first permanent crossing between the villages of Dodhara and Chandani. Communities had previously relied on ferries or seasonal fords to connect across the river.
Culture
The bridge structure represents a crucial link between Nepalese communities, enabling regular social interactions across the Mahakali River throughout the year.
Practical
The bridge is open year-round and follows Nepal's left-hand traffic pattern. Visitors should note that the structure sways noticeably during strong winds or heavy rains.
