The expansion work of the Butwal-Narayangadh road section under the Mahendra Highway has reached the final stage.

The construction of the bridge and culvert in the eastern section has been completed. A culvert in Daunne under the western section is yet to be constructed. According to Shiva Khanal, the information officer of the road expansion project, 92 percent of the work has been completed in the eastern section. Khanal said that road safety work is currently underway. The road, which has been blacktopped and sloped, is currently being worked on, including traffic signs and road marking.
With the Daunne section, which is the most congested, being made easier for passengers, passengers no longer have to sit in long traffic jams. Work is underway to blacktop the road, build road belts and install dividers in places other than Daunne. The deadline for the eastern section and the western section is July 7.
The project has set a target to complete the physical infrastructure construction work within the extended deadline. However, technical work including road safety will take a few more months and the project is preparing accordingly.
The Chinese contractor company China State Engineering Corporation had won the contract for the expansion of the 114-kilometer road in two sections for 17 billion rupees, with the work to start from Chaitra 2075 and be completed in 44 months.
