Gorkha Bridge, Cantilever footbridge in Gorkha District, Nepal
The Gorkha Bridge extends 195 meters over the Daroudi River, connecting the communities of Sirdibas and Kerauja through steel trusses attached to cliff faces.
The construction of Gorkha Bridge in 2016 addressed the critical need for connectivity after the 2015 Nepal earthquake altered the valley's geographical features.
The bridge follows an ancient salt trading route that held importance for local communities and merchants traveling through the Manaslu Circuit trail.
Local maintenance teams perform regular inspections of the steel trusses and platform surfaces to ensure safe passage for the 5,000 annual users.
Engineers implemented an innovative construction method by drilling directly into cliff faces to secure the bridge's support structure, marking a first in Nepalese engineering.
