The village is connected through two bridges on either side, Pumpshed bridge also called 'boud kadal' ( large bridge), connects Bohipora with Kupwara town, and Gushi Kadal, located over famed kahmil nala, connects Bohipora with village Gushi.

Bund work has been done to minimize damage due to floods as the village is prone to recurrent floods. D.I.E.T kupwara is located in Bohipora on the Bohipora - Poshpora Road.
