List of bridges in Nepal

{{Short description|none}}

This list of bridges of Nepal draws up an inventory of the remarkable bridges of Nepal, as well by their dimensional characteristics, as by their architectural or historical interest.

The long suspension bridges of Nepal

In 2015, Nepal had a total road network of {{convert|80078|km}} of which {{convert|53143|km}} are local rural roads, of these, only {{convert|1697|km}} has been black-topped.{{cite news |url=https://thehimalayantimes.com/business/total-road-length-crosses-80000km/ |title=Total road length crosses 80,000km |date=July 13, 2015 |language= |work=The Himalayan Times |access-date=December 12, 2022}} Modern roads are few and mostly concentrated on the Terai plain, the area stretching along the border with India and which accounts for nearly half of the country's population. In 2020, there is only one railway line of 59 kilometers, also located near India and the capital Kathmandu has no railway connection.{{cite web |url=http://www.dorw.gov.np/ |title=Department of Railways |website=Dorw.gov.np - Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport - Government of Nepal |access-date=December 12, 2022}} The population is essentially rural in this region at the foot of the Himalayas, but the steep reliefs are a brake on the development of the local populations who are already among the poorest in the world.

Until the 1950s, the whole country with the exception of the Terai was provided only with trails for a large part of the territory, some essential trade routes had been established since the beginning of the 20th century, despite the isolation of the Nepal. Louis Harper introduced the first modern suspension footbridges to Nepal in the late 1890s, he had improved the system in the United Kingdom from wooden pylons to steel lattice pylons, they were pre-fabricated in Scotland and shipped to site for assembly. At least 4 bridges of this type remain in service in Nepal today.{{cite web |url=http://www.harperbridges.com/index.html?id=1 |title=Harper Bridges - Introduction |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207062635/http://www.harperbridges.com/index.html?id=1 |archive-date=February 7, 2012 |website=Harperbridges.com }} This system was unfortunately not effective and failed to meet significant demand.

All these constraints led the government to create the Suspension Bridges Division in 1964 (replaced by the Trail Bridge Section in 2001) which studied with Swiss engineers a model of durable, easy-to-build simple suspension bridge, adapted to the Nepalese relief and therefore to large spans ranging from {{convert|120|to|350|m|ft}}, and a whole first generation of trail bridges was born on the main axes, with up to 30 bridges built per year. Under an increasingly strong demand, a second generation of bridges had developed with economic and environmental stakes, these bridges are optimized to be built with local materials and carried out by a local workforce in order to extend this system across the country. They will nevertheless have shorter spans than the first generation bridges, in the order of 40 to 120 meters.

By 2004, more than 3000 suspension bridges have thus been built on the Nepalese landscape including 2230 bridges through Swiss support with an overall length of more than {{convert|180|km}}.Asia Brief - Trail Bridges In Nepal, 2006, p.1 Two types of bridges have been built: 580 long-span trail bridges with lengths ranging from {{convert|120|to|350|m}} on the main trails under the responsibility of the Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads and 1650 short-span community bridges up to {{convert|120|m}} in length, built by the communities themselves under the responsibility of User Committees.Asia Brief - Trail Bridges In Nepal, 2006, p.2 In September 2015, a total of 6000 completed trail bridges has been celebrated.Sapkota, 2017, p.140

But the needs are still numerous and signs of weakness are beginning to appear, it is estimated that 200 the number of bridges require heavy work, even replacement (statistics mid-2004). Some footbridges are built on great heights in order to fight against flooding during the monsoon, 14 bridges were destroyed during the glacial break-up of Digcho in the Sagarmatha area in 1985. This phenomenon, also called jökulhlaup, is caused by the rupture of a glacier and causes sudden and devastating floods. The devastated bridges were later rebuilt on higher levels.

They are rediscovered today by tourists during organized backpackings on the footpaths of Everest, Annapurna, the Kathmandu Valley and other sites along Nepal.

Historical and architectural interest bridges

Among the notables bridges of Nepal, we can mention the Dodhara Chandani Bridge which has the originality of being composed of 4 successive suspension bridges with three spans, and a total of 8 large steel truss pylons, which spans nearly 1,500 meters. Its four main spans have very large arrows and each is held by lateral support cables. The bridge is designed as a pedestrian bridge, but bicycles and motorcycles can use the bridge as well. There is enough room so that motorcycles can pass even if they are fully loaded. All traffic travels on the left-hand side, as everywhere else in Nepal.

The bridges presented here are initially sorted by date of commissioning, they thus retrace part of the history of transport in Nepal and the various developments that led to the structures that can be seen today.

Major road bridges

Nepal's largest road bridge, the Karnali Bridge, was designed by Steinman, Boynton, Gronquist & Birdsall of USA, constructed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries of Japan and funded by the World Bank.{{Cite book |last1=Dave Reed |url= |title=The Rough Guide to Nepal |last2=James McConnachie |date=2015-07-01 |publisher=Rough Guides UK |isbn=978-0-241-23810-3 |pages=276–277 |language=en |chapter=The western terai- the far west}} It is part of the country's largest highway, the Mahendra Highway H01, which crosses the Terai region from east to west and over Nepal's longest and widest river, the Ghaghara (also called Karnali) which ends in the Ganges. The Karnali Bridge is the only road bridge with a span of more than 300 meters in Nepal, the H01 highway like the other highways in the country, avoids major obstacles as much as possible, such as the many rivers resulting from melting snow of the Himalayas and overly mountainous areas which would require much more expensive infrastructure. The very underdeveloped railway network is an additional reason for the scarcity of major bridges other than footbridges in Nepal.

This table presents the structures with spans greater than {{convert|100|m|ft}} (non-exhaustive list).
