Province Government Bagamati Province Ministry of Physical Infrastructure Development Transport Infrastructure Directorate Hetauda, Makwanpur Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) VOLUME I MAIN REPORT June, 2021 Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province MESSAGE i Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province MESSAGE ii Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province FOREWORD It is my great pleasure to introduce the Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province of Nepal. PTMP is a planned document for the development of the Provincial Roads to enhance the accessibility condition of transport infrastructure and services in the province to upgrade the road network and improve connectivity. The integrated road development approach has been envisaged to streamline the budget expenditure on priority investment on road infrastructure development. I believe this document will be helpful to materialize the Provincial Public Road and Vehicle Infrastructure Act, through planning, resource mobilization, implementation, and monitoring of road development. This document is very essential in lobbying the donor agencies through the central government to attract the fund gap. Furthermore, this document will be supportive in avoiding prevailing duplication in resource allocation in the road interventions by considering the basket fund approach on the overall transport infrastructure of the province. I would like to express my gratitude for the support of the Bagamati Province government for the financial support, especially Chief minister Mr. Dormani Paudyal, Minister(Ministry of Physical Infrastructure Development) Mr. Rameswar Phuyal, the secretaries Mr. Sanjeev Baral and Mr. Tejraj Bhatta, Senior Divisional Engineer Navin Kumar Singh, Engineer Punya Ram Sulu and Engineer Jyanendra Pun for the valuable input on finalization of the document. I would like to thank all six IDOs, Er. Hari Prasad Ojha and Road Expert Er. Aashish Khadka of the directorate for the valuable input and comments. I would like to thank Dr. Hare Ram Shrestha, Team Leader, and Raghab Bista, and team members from Project Research and Engineering Associates (PRENA) for their continuous dedication and technical input to prepare this document. Last but not least, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the all engineers and staff of the Transport Infrastructure Directorateand Ministry of Physical Infrastructure Development, Bagamati Province for providing valuable contribution to produce this report. Any pioneering and constructive suggestions regarding the document will be highly appreciated. SahadevBahadur Bhandari, (PhD.)
