Road Sector

Nepal is a landlocked country with China to the North and India to the South. Road is the major transportation modes and aviation supports few part of the country due to difficult geographical feature. Though transportation through railway is possible and various plans has been made in the past, it is not been utilized yet. The road density in Nepal is lowest at 121 km per 1000 sq km of land area compared to other South Asian Countries. The total road network in the country consisted of 64,500 km. More than 60 percent of the road network is concentrated in the lowland (Terai) areas of the country. Out of the total 77 districts in country,75 have access to all weather roads and 2 districts in the country (Dolpa and Humla) still remained unconnected through roads. The network density is low, at 14 kms per 100 km2 and 0.9 km per 1,000 people. A Department of Roads (DoR’s) survey shows that 50% of the population of the hill areas still must walk two hours to reac.

Bridge

Successful completion of project can be linked up with timely completion of the project. The causes of delays in motorable bridge construction of Postal Highway Project under Department of Roads in Nepal. Majority bridges, 62 % bridges faced schedule overrun which is about 78%. Range of schedule overrun was found to be 19 percent to 182 percent. Time period bridges were found to be extended beyond original project period (greater than 100 percent). Progress of ongoing bridge construction projects is also low and may require longer time to complete the works.
