On numerous occasions, I have waited for a fairly long length of time to get into Kathmandu city when driving into the capital (both from eastern - Bhaktapur route and western Thankot route), once I remember spending as much as 8 hours in a traffic jam at Kalanki.
More recently however, there is a welcome difference to this, better traffic management, i.e. more traffic police at the site and concrete road dividers (that I've seen stopping a LandCruiser driving at 120 kmph+ in its tracks, ofcourse the LC collided with it!) and road widening...
Now the drive from Thankot inside and crossing Kalanki is, dare I say it, quite easy...
Today, it was picked up by a news paper (Republica), here's a link to the story: http://www.myrepublica.com/portal/index.php?action=news_details&news_id=40974
