Reconstruction of the flood-damaged Kanti Highway has begun following severe destruction during the September–October 2024 floods. Contracts worth more than Rs 2.7 billion have been awarded for slope stabilization, road repair, and bridge construction. Major works include Rs 1.33 billion for the Tika Bhairav–Baguwa section and Rs 740 million for the Baguwa–Hetauda stretch, along with a Rs 180 million permanent bridge at Baguwa. The project aims to complete major upgrades before the next monsoon.
