District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) Government of Nepal District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads (DOLIDAR) District Development Committee, Morang February 2013 Prepared by the District Technical Office (DTO) for Morang with Technical Assistance from the Department of Local Infrastructure and Agricultural Roads (DOLIDAR), Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development and grant supported by DFID i FOREWORD It is my great pleasure to introduce this District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) of Morang district especially for district road core network (DRCN). I believe that this document will be helpful in backstopping to Rural Transport Infrastructure Sector Wide Approach (RTI SWAp) through sustainable planning, resources mobilization, implementation and monitoring of the rural road sub-sector development. The document is anticipated to generate substantial employment opportunities for rural people through increased and reliable accessibility in on- farm and off-farm livelihood diversification, commercialization and industrialization of agriculture sector. In this context, rural road sector will play a fundamental role to strengthen and promote overall economic growth of this district through established and improved year round transport services reinforcing intra and inter-district linkages . Therefore, it is most crucial in executing rural road networks in a planned way as per the District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) by considering the framework of available resources in DDC comprising both internal and external sources. Viewing these aspects, DDC Morang has prepared the DTMP by focusing most of the available resources into upgrading and maintenance of the existing road networks. This document is also been assumed to be helpful to show the district road situations to the donor agencies through central government towards generating needy resources through basket fund approach. Furthermore, this document will be supportive in avoiding pervasive duplication approach in resources allocation under the rural road network development sector of this district. I would, firstly like to express my gratitude to Mr.Ram BabuPaudyal, RTI Pilot District Asset Management Engineer for his continuous dedication, hard work and cooperation in bringing this DTMP document at this final stage successfully. I would also express my gratitude to Mr.DillishworKarki, RTI Pilot Sub Asset Management Engineer for his valuable support in the process of preparing DTMP report. I would like to thank to Mr.Samar Khanal, Chief of District Technical Office (DTO), Mr.Suresh Acharya, Planning Monitoring and Administrative Officer, Ms RenuBishwas, Focal Person RTI SWAp, and other DDC and DTO staffs who directly and indirectly supported in the process of preparing this document. My special thank goes to all the representatives of political parties and other DTICC members who played central role in providing constructive and valuable supports in preparing this document. Last but not least, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ministry of federal Affairs and Local Development (MoFALD), Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agriculture Road (DOLIDAR) and RTI SECTOR Maintenance Pilot central unit for their valuable support to produce this report. Any innovative and constructive suggestions regarding this document will be highly appreciated. Shiva Ram Pokhrel Local Development Officer District Development Committee Morang, Nepal ii PREFACE / ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) of Morang District has been prepared with support from UK AID/DFID, Technical Assistance by RTI Sector Maintenance Pilot and close coordination with DoLIDAR.

It borders with Bihar (India) to the South, Jhapa&Ilam districts to the East, Dhankuta&Panchthar districts to the North and Sunsari district to the west. The district has One Sub Metro Politian City (Biratnagar) and 65 VDCs.The total area of the district is 1,855 km2. The lowest elevation point is 60 meter and highest elevation point is 2410 meter above sea level. The current population of the district is 10,38,457and the average population density is around 560 people per square km till 2068 B.S. The district headquarter is connected by Koshi National High way to the East-WestMahendra National Highway at Itahari, Sunsari, and the district is also connected to the Hill parts of the eastern region of Nepal. This district is the core Industrial sector for the EasternDevelopment Region of Nepal. The district inventory identified1,575.14km of roads, including 218.34km of strategic road network, 57.17 km of urban road network and 370.62km of district road core network (DRCN) and 929.01km of village road network. Of the core district road network, 3% is black topped, 69% has a gravel surface and 28% has an earthen surface, resulting in 72% being considered all-weather and only 28% fair weather. Road Class Total Black Top Gravel Earthen Strategic road network 218.34 117.51 47.86 52.97 Urban roads 57.17 57.17 - - District Core road Network 370.62 10.24 254.89 105.49 Village roads 929.01 12.49 705.96 210.56 Total 1,575.14 197.41 1,008.71 369.02 Annual conservation costs for the entire district road core network are estimated at NPR 75.6 million based on the first year, and will be updated in the ARMP based on actual annual maintenance needs as determined in the annual road condition survey. Total conservation costs for the five-year DTMP period are estimated at NPR 359million. An analysis of the road network identified the need for improvement of most of the core road network roads in order to bring them to a maintainable all-weather standard and provide them with a proper road surface in light of existing traffic volumes. In this DTMP, improvement work from gravel surface to blacktopping is not provisioned due to lack of financial resources. Priority is given to make all earthen roads to gravel roads. The required improvements and their estimated costs are listed below. Improvement type Requirement Cost (NPR) Bridges 330 m 196,000,000 Slab culverts 42.25 m 8,450,000 Causeways 475 m 6,550,000 Hume pipes 259 units 2,590,000 Masonry retaining walls 568 m3 3,976,000 Gabion retaining walls 1491.3 m3 5,070,420 Lined drains 84000 m 151,200,000 Widening 62420 m 74,904,000 Rehabilitation 0 km - Gravelling 105.49 km 158,235,000 Blacktopping 305.56 km 1,527,800,000 New construction 5.00 km 62,500,000 Total 2,197,275,420 The available budget for the road sector for the coming five years (fiscal year 2069/70 to 2073/74) is estimated to be NPR 1,333 million. Allocation to the district road core network was set at 75% of the total road sector budget, which was subsequently allocated firstly to iv the annual maintenance needs and then to the improvement needs. This budget is insufficient to cover all the estimated costs of conservation, improvement and new construction. However, it allows main conservation requirements to be covered throughout the DTMP period and some of the improvement works to be completed before the end of the DTMP period. The remaining improvement works will be carried out in the next DTMP. New construction work of 5 km section is expected to be implemented. The DTMP allocation allows the entire district road core network to be maintained for the full five years and all required improvement works to be carried out. At the end of the DTMP period the entire district road core network will be in maintainable, fair weather & all-weather condition with the appropriate road surface. The core road network will then consist of 22% blacktop roads,61% gravel roads and 17% earthen roads, all with protective and cross drainage structures in place (83% will be all weather as well as maintainable).Access to the SRN or to all-weather DRCN roads will increase from 58 to 65VDCs and One sub Metropolitan from 95% to 100% of the district population. v ABBREVIATIONS DDC District Development Committee DIM District Inventory Map DOLIDAR Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agriculture Road DOR Department of Road DRCN District
