The government has kicked off preparation to arrange land acquisition
for construction of a 8-lanes ring road from Kalanki to Koteshwore to be
developed with assistance of Chinese government, after the completion
of preliminary design of the project.
According to a high level official at the Ministry of Physical Planning Works and Transport Management (MoPPWTM), the Chinese company carrying out the survey and design of the project submitted the construction design to the ministry.
“We are studying the design that was prepared by The Third Railway Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation (TTRSDIGC),” Ramesh Raj Bishta, joint secretary at the MoPPWTM said, “We might have some comment on the design but if we don´t we will okay it.” He further added that the contract for detail project report (DPR) and construction would start after finalizing the design.
The government and China had signed the letter of exchange (LoE) for the project in Feb 2011. “The project will be completed within three years of its commencement,” Bista said, “The cost of construction is yet to be estimated. However, the rough estimation is Rs 5 billion.”
According to Bista, the government has to arrange the land for the construction of road. “It requires 62 meters of width for the construction of 8-lane road,” he said, “There is sufficient open land for the construction of road.” The government has anticipated that the construction will begin at the end of this year or from the beginning of 2013.
The government should have a matching fund for the project. “However, it´s not been finalized how much matching fund the government will arrange for this project,” Bista told Republica on Sunday.
The design that the TTRSDIGC has submitted outlines the map of road from Kalanki to Koteshwore, which geos through Ekantakuna, Satdobato and Guwarko. “There will be different lanes for motorized vehicles and non-motorized vehicles,” Bista said.
According to an official at the MoPPWTM, the construction of the road also will be awarded to the Chinese companies. “We will just have to coordinate with them,” the official told Republica.
