 ABSTRACT

This abstract contains brief details about the proposal on the project concerned with the

maintenance of the road from Kalanki to Chabahil of the Kathmandu valley. This route is one of

the busiest ones. Over the decade, the condition of this route has been degrading. Therefore, the

necessity to enhance the road is of prime importance. The main objective of submitting this

proposal is to undertake the project and improve the condition of the road. Throughout the

project, road engineers along with skilled manpower and resources will be utilized to a huge

extent. An approximate budget of Rs. 50,000,000 (Five crore rupees) is estimated to be required

for the completion of this project. On the completion of this project, it is expected to facilitate

effective and secure transportation of vehicles and commute of people which has become a major

problem for the public for a significant period due to the current state of the bridge.
 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

The ringroad including Kalanki-Chabahil is an important route for transportation as there are

many vehicles moving from one place to the other everyday. Over the past years, the condition

of this route has worsened. This has led to the difficulty in daily commute in ringroad. Due to the

critical state of the road, other alternative routes which are longer and hectic have to be used.

Koteshwor, being of the busiest places of Kathmandu has a very heavy traffic every day. The

traffic is very difficult to resolve and control. People have to go through uncontrollable and

troublesome traffic which makes them frustrated and angry. The poor quality of the road has

invited many basic problems in public transport.

Considering the problems, the Ministry of Road and Transport has decided to carry out

maintenance of this route and has recently published a public notice requesting qualified

consultancies to submit their proposal showing their interest to undertake the project on the

maintenance of the road linking from Kalanki-Chabahil. In response to the same public notice,

this proposal has been presented. The estimated budget calculated for the successful

accomplishment of the project is Rs. 50,000,000. Once this project is completed, it is expected to

facilitate the transportation route from Kalanki to Chabahil and solve the existing problems of

traffic and insecurity of the road.

 RATIONALE

Since the commuters of Kathmandu valley are facing a lot of inconvenience travelling from one

place to the other due to the lack of maintenance of the road causing it to become fragile and less

secure and although the urban cities are going under the phase of infrastructural development

with general people feeling the lag of progress in transportation sector, the concerned Ministry

has planned to address the public demands and sentiments by renovating the road within this

year and has published a notice asking the interested consultancies to submit their proposals for

handling the project. This proposal aims at undertaking the responsibility of maintenance of the

road to overcome the problem of traffic and providing ease at transport for the public within

shortest possible time frame.

 OBJECTIVES

transportation by the public everyday caused by the lack of strong maintenance of the road. The
