Tribhuvan Highway expansion begins in Birgunj

The Tribhuvan Highway expansion project is finally moving forward in Birgunj, a crucial step for improving connectivity and infrastructure in the region. While the process of identifying the official highway boundaries and installing markers has begun, it follows a period of uncertainty for local residents. Road Division Office engineers are diligently working with various local authorities, including the Birgunj Metropolitan City and the District Administration Office, to ensure the accurate demarcation of the 25-meter width on each side from the center line, adhering to official standards.

This phase is critical after some roadside structures were already removed, leaving property owners confused about the exact extent of their land that would be affected. The preliminary demolition work, which saw around 1,200 structures removed from the Gandak to customs office stretch, has been completed. Now, the focus shifts to precise measurement and marking, a process that requires meticulous coordination among all stakeholders. The successful completion of this highway expansion will undoubtedly boost trade and transportation, underscoring the importance of such infrastructure development for Nepal's economic growth.
