Road Network Development Program (Project 2)

The project constructed a two-lane road. Subsequent to the start of the project, the government decided to widen the road to four lanes by constructing another two-lane road alongside the project road. The widening works are scheduled for completion by December 2013. The ADB-financed two-lane road was completed in December 2012. At appraisal, project design needs to be properly formulated through much broader consultation with line ministries and other stakeholders, keeping in view future requirements and government plans so that administrative and operational issues are not encountered during the implementation and the facility can be made ready for the users in a timely way.
