Arniko Highway Expansion Project Achieves Significant Progress

Kathmandu. The Arniko Highway expansion project, Suryabinayak-Dhulikhel section, has achieved significant progress. The physical progress of the second section (Sanga-Dhulikhel), which has a total length of 15.8 kilometers, has reached 73 percent, and the first section (Suryabinayak-Sanga) has reached 59 percent. According to Project Chief Vijay Mahato, efforts are being made to speed up the road expansion work despite adverse weather, local obstructions, and a shortage of construction materials. "We have expedited the payment process to continue work even during the rainy season. As per the legal provision of closing accounts on Asar 25th, we have already made payments for the work completed by the contractor by Asar 25th. The contractor is still working after the 25th, and we will complete the payment process for that. As this is an extremely sensitive and nationally prioritized highway, the government has also clearly instructed us to continue the work without stopping. We are coordinating accordingly."
