KATHMANDU: The government is set to expand the Pokhara-Muglin road into four-lane.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has agreed to provide Rs 195 million loan assistance for the expansion of the road.

Meanwhile, the government has decided to invest Rs 5.90 billion to expand the two-lane Pokhara-Muglin road section into four-lane.

According to a recently issued press statement by ADB Headquarters, Manila, the ADB has approved the loan assistance to upgrade the Pokhara-Muglin road section.

The ADB said the section of the road will ensure easy and smooth movement of vehicles.

According to ADB, the road that works as a sub-regional corridor to link India and Bangladesh will be helpful to take local products to the markets.

While the 81-kilometer Pokhara-Aanbukhaireni road section would be expanded in the first-phase, the eight-kilometer Aanbukhaireni-Muglin section would be expanded later.

A target has been set to complete the expansion of the two-lane road into four-lane within five years, ADB said.
