What you should know
It has been exactly 7 years since the work of the Narayangadh-Butwal road section under the East-West Highway started. But its construction progress is only 69 percent. Out of 113 kilometers of roads, only 100 kilometers of roads have been paved. In which two-way black paper is only 80 km.
As the work is not completed on time, thousands of passengers who travel through this road are forced to suffer and suffer every day. This road has been extended and contracted in two sections. The contract for both sections was awarded to China State Construction Engineering Corporation. Officials of the road department cannot say clearly how long the company that got the contract for 16 billion 99 million 52 lakh 96 thousand rupees will be able to work.
for the first time in March 2075 According to the contract agreement, its work should be completed within 079 July . However, due to lack of construction materials and covid-19, the deadline was extended for the first time till 11th July 2018. However, after the work could not be completed within that time, the deadline was extended for the second time until July 8, 2018, and the work was not completed. Even though the deadline was extended time and time again, the work could not accelerate. The government repeatedly extended the deadline for the contractors who could not work . Although its deadline has been extended for the third time until July 8, 2008, there is doubt that it will be completed on time.
This year, Downne Khand will be shaken and the Binayi Khola bridge will collapse, causing passengers to suffer for months . Even now, as soon as there is heavy rain, either there is a long jam here or the road is completely blocked . Even though the bridge is built on Vinayi River, the problem of Downe Khand is still the same.
According to Chundaraj Dhakal, project director of the Directorate of Projects (ADB), the most problematic section is now. He said that there was a problem in digging a deep ditch to make a culvert from Vishwakarma temple towards Dumkiwas in Downe . He said that landslides occur near Bardghat from time to time.
According to the road department, since the black sheet work is not done during the rainy season, the problematic Daunne will be completed within ten years, while the entire project will take another year to complete.
