Description

The project will rehabilitate and upgrade in terms of capacity, quality, and safety, about 160 kilometers (km) of Nepal's strategic road network, which comprise a critical section of the country's main East-West highway and its feeder road. It will improve transport connectivity in Nepal, with a focus on providing faster and better access to social services and economic opportunities. The project roads are also integral to the international and regional road network system that connects Nepal to India, and will facilitate closer trade integration and contribute to Nepal's export competitiveness. The project will have a transformational impact by facilitating national and regional integration.
