Title: Detail Engineering Survey, Design cost and Estimate of Rural Road

Introduction:

Rural roads are the lifeline of the rural population . They link the rural
areas to urban centers and the rest of the country, to district
headquartes and centers. They are very important for connecting
people . This sector is one of the imporant sectors and it is in the
priority of the government. A wide way of leading from one place to
another especially one with a specially prepared surface which vehicles
can use. A good road network helps in stabilizing and developing every
aspect of society. Road is the main source of surface transport
providing bulk movements of commodities and passengers. In
comparision with our two neighbours ,the investment we have made in
building rural roads in Nepal is comparatively very low. With support
from the government ,communities are building the roads in rural
areas.These roads are generating environmental and social concerns.
Some of the rural roads constructed by communities through local
bodies , without engineers inputs, are causing a lot of problems. The
cost of improvement of such roads will be a lot of money in the future.
There is a high risk. We are now improving the standards of the rural
roads through thee support of development partners and government .
This road will link the centre of district headquarters to village centres.
The districts will be connected to the national road network . What we
are doing is to connect the village centre to the district centre, which is
called the core road network. Our priority is now to improve the
standard the core network and make them all weather roads . we are
building crossings in the rivers , with bridges,culverts ,and causeways.
We are intervening in the road work to make them all weather.
The rural roads plays an important role in the overall development of
these areas . It provides accessibility and mobility for the rural dwellers,
providing economic ,physical,social and political links and facilitating
the exchange of the products of the urban areas and the raw materials
of the rural areas. Rural roads are a road network that is not in an
urban setting. There are the roads with a low traffic volume , which
connect different communities ,provide market access to farms and
farmland and have lower design speed . Pural roads are generally
owned by local authorities.
 Objectives:

1. To focus on effective alignment and design of

the earthen single lane road based on
geometric design, traffic requirement and
scientific calculation.
2. To study and analyze the environment and
situation of the site.
3. To estimate the cost of the development
and possible benefit after the construction of
the rural road, to evaluate the financial
viability of the project.
4. To assess the socio environmental impacts
from the construction of the road and to
mitigate them as much as possible.
 Methodology
The following procedures would be followed to accomplish the
above mentioned objectives:
1. Project site selection.
2. Definition of the problem and setting objectives.
3. Review of the theoretical aspects of the project.
4. Design calculations of the structural components from the
data collected.
5. Preparation of the drawings of the components based on
design calculation.
6. Discussion with experts and supervisor.
7. Preparation of the final project.

 Expected output:
After the completion of the project, the prepared report would
help concerned authority having the right for construction of
rural road and they would check the feasibility of the road
based on the report at the site. If its feasible to construct the
rural road at the site then the road will be constructed else
other alternative sites will be taken under consideration and
studied.
 Time schedule:
Since due to covid-19 pandemic, it is very difficult for us to
prepare the time schedule and also there are certain
constraints in the field work. Hence, we will prepare the time
schedule in accordance with our supervisor.
