NH-10 night traffic restrictions announced for Sevoke-Rangpo stretch

Night-time vehicular movement will be restricted on the 52.1-kilometre Sevoke–Rangpo stretch of National Highway 10 (NH-10) in two phases to facilitate slope protection and landslide mitigation works. The highway serves as a critical link between Sikkim and West Bengal.

The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL) has announced that the restrictions will apply to all vehicle categories, including private cars, passenger vehicles, and commercial transport. The road will be closed from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM during the following periods:

• First Phase: October 7 to October 15, 2026 • Second Phase: October 26 to November 5, 2026

The closures are intended to safeguard road users from hazards associated with excavation and hillside stabilization activities. Authorities noted that additional restrictions or closures may be implemented depending on construction progress and safety requirements.
