Delays in sections outside the project scope in the same corridor can have big impacts on a project. The Kota bypass, which is in the middle of the Chittorgarh–Kota and the Kota–Baran sections, was not completed owing to the collapse of the bridge under construction at the time of IEM fielding. Although the bypass is not within the scope of the project, the delay of its completion affected the traffic on adjacent sections of the project. In corridor development, if sections outside the scope of ADB projects are not completed as planned, it will affect the adjacent sections within the scope of ADB projects. Such risk needs to be carefully considered at the planning stage, and the progress of adjacent sections in the same corridor requires follow-up even if they are outside the project scope.
