Narayangadh-Butwal Road Sees Only 69% Progress As Deadline Nears End

Triveni (Nawalparasi), July 2: The physical progress of the Narayangadh-Butwal road construction project has reached 69 percent only, even as the deadline extended for the third time is about to expire

The work on the expansion of the Narayangadh-Butwal road is being carried out by China State Construction Corporation Pvt. Ltd. and the deadline extended for the third time is coming to an end on July 24.

According to Information Officer of the Project, Shiva Khanal, the process of extending the deadline for the fourth time has begun, which is to be done for one more year.

Meanwhile, the new bridge over the Binayi River in Dumkibas will be operational in two to three days. If the new bridge is operational, it will provide relief to drivers and passengers who have been suffering due to the diversion, washed away multiple times to frequent floods caused by rain.

Project Information Officer Khanal said that the work ahead will focus on making transportation easier in the Daunne section of the Narayagan-Butwal road section. Only maintenance work is being done to ensure smooth operation of traffic by stopping other works including culvert construction.

Passengers have been suffering for a long time due to the important highway expansion project not being completed on time.
