NH-10 Closed: Kalimpong Administration Issues Alternative Routes for Light Vehicles
Due to the development of a critical crack at kilometer 6.8 on NH-10, the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) has ordered the closure of the highway between Sevoke (km 0) and Chittrey (km 30) until further notice.
This section is a key corridor connecting Siliguri to Gangtok, and its closure is expected to disrupt regular travel and transport to Sikkim.
In response, the Kalimpong Police has released details of three alternative routes available for light traffic and small vehicles:
Siliguri – Jorbungalow – Teesta Bazaar – Rangpo – Gangtok
Siliguri – Sevoke – Damdim – Gorubathan – Lava – Alagarah – Rangpo – Gangtok
Siliguri – Sevoke – Bagrakote – Lava – Alagarah – Rangpo – Gangtok
(via NH-717A)
However, heavy vehicles are currently restricted from traveling to or from Gangtok due to the ongoing situation and road conditions.
