Caption: Date: 1971-04 Location: Goganpani, Dailekh Description: View of construction both of the towers and anchors of a kuchha 120' span over the Bhairi River. The bridge crossed Bhairi River just south of the point where it joins the Prajuli River. No concrete was used in construction of the anchors. This bridge was totally swept away in catastrophic monsoon flooding which occurred on 10 September--just several months after inauguration of the bridge on 30 June.
