Traffic resumed in both directions along the Malekhu-Muglin section of the Prithvi Highway on Tuesday morning after a landslide at Ghoptebhir was cleared.
The Chitwan District Police Office said the road reopened at 7:45am, allowing vehicles held up by the landslide to resume their journeys.
A fresh landslide at Ghoptebhir in Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality-4 blocked traffic in both directions late on Monday night, disrupting travel to and from Kathmandu.
The same stretch had been blocked earlier on Monday after a landslide struck before dawn. Traffic resumed at around 2pm after debris was cleared.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Chandra Bhushan Yadav, spokesperson for the Chitwan District Police Office, said the latest landslide occurred at around 11:15pm on Monday, once again blocking the highway in both directions.
Clearance work was carried out to reopen the road.
