Trail Bridge in Nepal
What is Trail Bridge?
For any country to develop and prosper infrastructure is needed. And transport infrastructure is globally recognized as the must for development. Due to the physiological difficulties road transport is only the feasible and viable means of transportation in Nepal. Unfortunately, given the topography of Nepal, construction of road transport network in every part of the country is neither technically feasible nor economical. The only reliable means of transport for the hill and rural population is foot trails. Rivers and streams crisscross foot trails, which are approximately 6000 all around the country and hence, Trail bridges are needed. Trial bridges is a type of bridge, which provides uninterrupted transport access facilities to the people, pedestrian, animals, these bridges are constructed along the foot trails, which provides safe durable and comfortable means of river crossings to the people.

In Nepal, because of its physiology settlements reside along the river side, which are on the hills or mountains of the river bank. And during rainy season the settlement on one side of the river could not get to the other end. In order to do so, people traditionally tried to overcome such constrain. They used tree trunk, wooden logs, bamboo across the river to get to other side, which was too risky and unsafe, as during rainy season the surface of such logs or trunks get slippery and wet. Many lives were lost just because of there were no safe means to cross the river. Nepal has unique topography, construction of road network throughout every nuke and corner of the country is neither economical nor technically viable. Many of the rural population that may be on hills, mountains or terai has to rely on foot trails to travel for their livelihood, and because of the fact that
