Nightly Closure of NH-10 Section to Sikkim Scheduled Until December 13
A 52-km section of National Highway 10 between Coronation Bridge in West Bengal and Rangpo in Sikkim will be closed nightly from 9 pm to 6 am for one month until December 13. The closure, announced by NHIDCL, aims to facilitate excavation, slope protection, and landslide mitigation work. Commuters are advised to avoid the stretch during these hours and use alternative routes via Gorubathan-Lava-Pedong-Rhenock or Siliguri-Odlabari-Gorubathan-Lava-Algarah-Pedong-Rhenock-Pakyong-Gangtok, which add several hours to travel time.
