The Narayanghat-Mugling highway experiences the heaviest traffic load in the country, accounting for 90 percent of Nepal’s total international trade traffic. More than 20,000 vehicles ply the highway every day.
The project will upgrade and expand a 33-km section of the Narayanghat-Mugling road to Asian Highway standard and address road safety, axle load control and environmental sustainability issues along the trade corridor.
The road will be expanded to a double-lane road with a width of 9 to 11 metres.
The current width of the road is 5.5 metres.
After the completion of the project, the travel time from Narayanghat to Mugling will be slashed to 30 minutes from the present 1 hour. The heavy congestion on the road has led to a number of accidents.
