The Regional Urban Development Project with subproject in Siddharthanagar municipality is financed by the Asian Development Bank under loan number 47252. The Department of Urban Development and Building Construction (DUDBC) under the Ministry of Urban Development (MOUD) is the executing agency and is responsible for technical and project management matters including engineering, safeguards, and social aspects. The Siddharthanagar municipality is the implementing agency. The aim of this project is to increase quality of life and resiliency in Siddharthanagar. The project will improve existing roads with urban design features, and improve the drainage system to improve mobility and safety and reduce waterlogging and flooding. 2. Subproject scope. The Siddharthnagar municipality drainage and road construction subproject is one of the subprojects proposed under the RUDP. The subproject includes: (i) construction/rehabilitation of about 10 km of drains to eradicate flooding; and (ii) improvement of about 25 km of city roads to minimize traffic congestion at the city core and reduce dust pollution, and inclusion of urban design features to increase safety and convenience for pedestrians. 3. Screening and categorization. An environmental assessment of the subproject is required per ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009). An environmental assessment using ADB’s Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) checklist for drainage and road construction (Appendix 1) was conducted and the results of the assessment show that the subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, Siddharthnagar Municipality drainage and road construction subproject is classified as environmental category B as per ADB SPS and an initial environmental examination (IEE) has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS’s requirements for environment category B projects. This is the Initial Environmental Examination based on the detailed designs. 4. Implementation arrangements. This IEE report has been prepared for the construction and improvement works of storm water drainage and roads of Siddharthanagar municipality. DUDBC under MOUD is the executing agency and the proponent of the IEE study is the project implementation unit (PIU) of the proposed RUDP of Siddharthanagar municipality, Bhairahawa, Rupandehi. This PIU is also currently implementing the under the ongoing ntegrated Urban Development Project, which is also financed by ADB and is at advanced stage. 5. Purpose of the IEE. This IEE examines the proposed drainage and road construction improvement works in Siddharthnagar Municipality to ensure that the environmental issues associated with the development are effectively managed and they will not damage the environment, and provide guidance for the planning, construction and operation of the proposed subproject.

    2.3 Nepal Road Network Overview Primary Roads in Nepal Major Road Construction Projects Distance Matrix Road Security Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits Road Class and Surface Conditions Province 1 Province 2 Bagmati Province Gandaki Province Province 5 Karnali Province Sudurpashchim Province Overview Roads are the predominant mode of transport in Nepal. Road network of Nepal is categorized into the strategic road network (SRN), which comprises of highways and feeder roads, and the local road network (LRN), comprising of district roads and Urban roads. Nepal’s road network consists of about 64,500 km of roads. Of these, about 13,500 km belong to the SRN, the core network of national highways and feeder roads connecting district headquarters. (Picture : Nepal Road Standard 2070) The network density is low, at 14 kms per 100 km2 and 0.9 km per 1,000 people. 60% of the road network is concentrated in the lowland (Terai) areas. A Department of Roads (DoR’s) survey shows that 50% of the population of the hill areas still must walk two hours to reach an SRN road. Two of the 77 district headquarters, namely Humla, and Dolpa are yet to be connected to the SRN. Page 1 (Source: Sector Assessment [Summary]: Road Transport) Primary Roads in Nepal S. Rd.
