FOREWORD
It is my great pleasure to introduce this District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) of Sindhupalchowk
district. 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 and commercialization of agriculture
sector. In this context, rural road network plays a important role to strengthen and promote overall
economic growth of the district through established and improved year round transport services
reinforcing intra and inter-district linkages.
Therefore, it is most crucial in expanding rural road networks in a planned way as per the DTMP by
considering the framework of available resources in DDC (both internal and external resources).
Viewing these aspects, DDC Sindhupalchowk 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 in lobbing and fascinating 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 SDC/Nepal and District Roads Support Programme
(DRSP) for financial and technical support. Secondly, Mr. Laxman Bhakta Dahi Shrestha, Planning &
Rural Infrastructure Engineer (DRSP SWAp TA), Mr. Kumar Nepal, CAD/GIS Expert (DRSP-PSU,
Kathmandu) and other DTMP Field Assistants, for their continuous dedication, hard-work and
cooperation in bringing this DTMP document at this final stage successfully. I am also thankful with
other technical experts of DRSP who provided their valuable efforts in the process of producing this
document.
I would like to thank to Mr. Ram Chandra Shrestha, Chief District Engineer (DTO), Mr. Rajendra
Prasad Pyakurel, Information Officer (DTMP Focal Person), Mr. Shekhar Kumar Shrestha, Team
Leader and other RRRSDP/DIST team, and other DDC and DTO staffs who directly and indirectly
supported in the process of preparing this document.
My special thank goes to Mr. Krishna Prasad Aryal (previous LDO/DDC Chairperson
Sindhupalchowk), all the representatives of political parties/members of District Transport
Infrastructure Coordination Committee (DTICC) and all party mechanism (representatives) of DDC
body; who played crucial role in providing constructive feedbacks and valuable supports in preparing
this document and final endorsement/approval of DTMP report.
Last but not least, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ministry of Local Development
(MoLD), Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agriculture Road (DOLIDAR) and
Helvetas/Nepal for their valuable suggestions to produce this report.
Any innovative and constructive suggestions regarding this document will be highly appreciated.

District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) - 2011 (Sindhupalchowk)
CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION
Background
The constitution of Nepal in its directives principles and policies of the state has envisaged
providing maximum opportunities for the participation of the people in the governance of the
country through decentralization. The enactment of Local Self Governance Act 1999 (2055)
and its' regulation has empowered the local bodies (DDCs, Municipalities and VDCs) to
formulate and implement development plan within their jurisdiction and territory. The same
legal provision made mandatory these local bodies have to prepare long and short term
vision plan and periodic plans. The District Periodic Plan (DPP) and District Transport
Master Plan (DTMP) are essential plan to be prepared by these local bodies. Numbers of
districts have already prepared DTPP and DTMP. The main objectives of such plans are to
systematize the investment plan. There are number of guidelines prepared by different
institutions to prepare such plans.
Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agriculture Road (DoLIDAR) has been
assisting to DDCs in preparation of DTMP. DoLIDAR has prepared guidelines for the
preparation of DTMP called Approach Manual for rural and agricultural roads, which is the
only governments’ guideline for preparation of DTMP. Recently DoLIDAR has published
Integrated Rural Accessibility Planning (IRAP) guideline, which focuses on real needs and
interventions prioritization through participatory approach. Among the interventions, transport
interventions are carried as the real need of transport project as the genuine demands of the
communities. These intervention are focused on enhance access to the basic services of
rural community.
Transport is one of the major components to improve the access through the increase on the
mobility to the settlement, community services and facilities and also to provide linkage with
market centers, agricultural production pocket areas and other potentialities of the district.
Considering the transport sector interventions and planning based on the accessibility
planning, District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) is long-term Perspective Plan prepared for
the planned development of the rural and agricultural roads in the district
.
Objective of the Study
The objective of DTMP is to prepare the District Transport Perspective Plan (DTPP) and
prioritize the interventions for first five years transport planning of the district for a single
approach of transport infrastructure development. This comprises the development of the
overall road network which will provide access to all settlements according to the national
transport policy (within 4 hrs. walking distance) and various identified market centers.
The following are the specific objectives of the DTMP:
• To review the existing DTMP

• To Prepare District Inventory Map (DIM) and assess accessibility situation
• To Conduct Market Center analysis and prepare IDPM
• To Prepare DTPP based on the accessibility policy and market centers
• To prepare the DTMP for 5-year period

1.1 Review on DTMP 2007
The latest DTMP was prepared in 2007 for the period 2007-2012. This was prepared based
on the DoLIDAR approach manual. According to the approach road network prepared
based on the demand collected from the different Illaka level workshop. These road
networks have been prioritized based on different parameters given by the guideline and
listed in DTMP and DTPP. The effort has also been taken in assessing the budget trend
and projection for coming year as a financial plan. However, there is no matching of the
demand list of DTMP and the supply list of financial plan in order to identify the gap.
Progress of DTMP 2007
According to DTMP 2007, the targeted length of road for new construction was 282 km for
the first five years and 978 km as prospective plan (ref Table 1.1). The total existing district
and village roads in 2007 was 521.30 km while the present road network is 2338.91 km.
The data includes only district and village roads but does not include highway & feeder
roads which are 137.10 km in 2007 and 145.81 km in 2010. Total road length in the district
is 2484.72 km including highway and feeder roads.

The overall objective of the District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) is to develop road
networks in planned and sustainable manner by adopting the labour based, local resources
oriented, and environment friendly techniques following the decentralized participatory
approach, so that it facilitates accessibility to important market centers and areas with
resource potentiality to guide the systematic arrangement for rural settlements, markets and
services centers of the district. Since many road networks have been constructed in
Sindhupalchowk, the use of mechanized equipment shall not be strict both on rehabilitation
and new extension of roads based on possibility and necessity.
Establishment of a single approach for the development of rural road network by local
government and develop a sustainable road network that reduce the aggregate
transportation cost and minimizes environmental impacts does this. To provide the
fundamental base for planning and implementing new construction, rehabilitation and
improvement of existing roads and to maintain, repair and rehabilitate the existing
infrastructure and to develop/connect the existing growth centers and potential growth
centers through rural road network development.
The specific objectives are:

• Prepare IDPM of district.
• Prepare DIM of the district.
• Prepare DTPP
• Prepare DTMP based on available financial resources on roads as identified and
prioritized in DTPP
1.2 Scopes and Limitation of DTMP
The DTMP is the result of studies considering socio-economic, environmental analysis and
potentiality of various sectors as well as accessibility to the transport facilities in the district,
which will draw the future scenario of the district and rural road development. DTMP focuses
on existing transportation situation, expected future road network accessibility and socio-
economic benefits.
It also guides the special arrangement of rural settlements; market and service centers of the
district by developing a road network that reduces the aggregate transportation cost and
minimize environmental impacts.
The implementation of DTMP will minimize the current ad-hoc practices of investing in roads
on short-term consideration. It provides directives on utilization of the local resources by
local instructions as well as agencies in line with the Decentralization and Local Self-
Governance Act. In addition to this, it will provide government and donor agencies a rational
basis on which to decide on future investments efficiently that will improve district transport
accessibility situation.
The proposed interventions are reflection of the interest of DDC and VDCs and proposed the
extension of existing road to meet 4 hours walking distance to the nearest road-head as
envisaged by National Transport Policy. The planned road stretches are based on current
trend of financial resource availability. Participatory approach of planning has adopted as far
as practicable. The study is only concerned within the district boundary but due
consideration is given to the nearest road-head and the inter-district linkages as well.
National strategic road and feeder roads are not considered in DTMP prioritization.

CHAPTER II: APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
2.1 Approach
The DTMP has been prepared adopting the Approach and Methodology mentioned in
Interim Guidelines 2010 for the preparation of District Transport Master Plan which was
approved by the Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agriculture Road
(DoLIDAR).
2.1.1 Bottom up Approach
Preparation of DTMP is based on the bottom up approach. Central level agencies mainly
Ministry of Local Development (MoLD) and DoLIDAR are responsible in providing the basis
of planning with transport policy and interim guideline. At the mean time District
Development Committee takes the ownership while all representative stakeholders in District
Transport Infrastructure Coordination Committee (DTICC) are authorized for the sole
decision in planning. Similarly, during the planning stage, workshops were arranged in
cluster level in order to verify and address the need of road alignment remaining within the
National Transport Policy. Hence, this all planning and decision responsibilities at the local
level bring to strength of bottom up approach in preparing DTMP.
2.1.2 Participatory Approach
Participation of the sole users and direct beneficiaries are very important in planning stage.
This helps in getting the real potential and need for the socio-economic development. With
this requirement, community active participation has been involved during the preparation of
DTMP. Mainly their participation has been encouraged during the data collection in
preparing Indicative District Potential Map.
At the mean time, in process of preparing network, workshops have been conducted in
different parts of district. During the workshop proposal from each group was discussed,
verified and validated with policy and was then considered in the network if required. These
activities clearly illustrate the participatory approach in planning level.
The DDC provided the policy decision for scoring and prioritization of the transport
interventions for DTMP preparation.
The process of preparation of DTMP has to follow several stages in its planning exercise.
The secondary data were collected from documents available in DDC/DTO, and from
various district level line agencies as well as Nepal Road Statistics published by DoR. The
DTMP has been prepared through participatory approach. Three constituency-level and
DDC level workshops were conducted to synchronize the demanded road from VDCs.
Representatives from all political parties and most important stakeholders of the district were
involved throughout the entire development process.
2.2 Methodology
Preparation of DTMP was based on bottom up and participatory approach. The outline of
methodology adopted is illustrated in Figure 2.1. This methodology mainly includes
organizational setup, operational planning, and financial planning. Detail activities carried out
during preparation of DTMP are explained below.

b) Facilitate reformation of District Infrastructure Coordination Committee (DTICC)
District Infrastructure Coordination Committee is the sub-committee under DDC, which is

responsible body at local level for overall transport planning in the district. Different
committee was formed as per guidelines in order to support programme activities
implementation such as DRSP, RRRSDP, and LGCDP etc as need basis. However, the
committees remained passive for overall network planning. Hence DTICC was reformed with
inclusive committee directed by the guideline.
2.2.2 Task 2: Preparation of Indicative District Potential Map (IDPM)
Planning of transport infrastructure depends on access to the existing and potential

development areas for the optimum use of resources. Hence, Preparation of Indicative
District Potential Map (IDPM) is the basic requirement in determining transport interventions.
Various potential developments such as the area having extensive agriculture, horticulture,
livestock, tourism and market/service centers were thus assessed.
a) Data and General Information Collection
Overview of district potentiality is very important during the planning stage. In order to get
the general picture of district, primary and secondary data were collected from different
sources within the district. These were mainly from annual report published by particular
district level offices such as DDC, DADO, DVO, DEO, Small Cottage and Industries office.
Further consultations were also made with stakeholders such as, local business
entrepreneurs, local community etc. Similarly, primary and secondary data were collected in
field visit carried out during different stages of planning. These field data were collected
using PRRA, consultation and observation methods (ref Appendix D for questionnaire).
Collection of data and information from various sources were mainly regarding area, location
and significance of development potential areas such as extensive agriculture, extensive
horticulture, livestock farming, high value cash crops, cottage and agro-based industries,
centre for business/commerce/markets, tourism area, hydro potential areas, and mining
areas including various service centers available in major market centre. Service centers
include facility such as hospital, health post, agricultural service sub-center, schools,
industries etc.
District base map is required for the overlay of potential feature. For this, GIS base map was
collected from Survey Department.
b) District Base Map Preparation
District Base Map was prepared in 1:20,000 scales. The Base Map forms the basic overlay
map for the IDMP indicating all the potentiality of the district and detail of market centers.
From the raw data obtained from Survey Department, different features were overlaid. This
includes:
• VDCs boundaries
• Ward boundaries
• Large settlements
• National strategic roads, existing district roads (DIM) and trails;
• Important water bodies (rivers, lakes, etc.); and
• Important historic and religious places.

Market grading forms the basis during network planning in the inaccessible area, and
prioritization of rehabilitation of existing roads. The whole Transport Network depends on
hierarchy of market/service centers, so the market survey was conducted very cautiously
with data collection and verification in different stage of planning.
Geographical positions of market centers were taken from topographical map which was
verified by GPS devise during the walkover survey.
d) Preparation of Indicative Development Potential Map
The collected information was plotted on the base map indicating their geographical
boundaries as accurately as possible. In addition, all the market centers with their grading
were plotted as Indicative Development Potential Map (IDPM) of the district. Existing road
network were also overlaid after the finalization of District Inventory Map.
e) Presentation of IDPM in DTICC
DDC arranged one day DTICC meeting. All the available members including some of the
invitee were invited. The main purpose was sharing of the data collection, market centre
analysis. After the sharing and discussions, feedbacks were collected.
2.2.3 Task 3: Preparation of District Inventory Map (DIM)
Sindhupalchowk is mainly depended on land transportation as the Araniko highway was

constructed many years back. Other transport linkages like rural roads, trail bridges,
main/local trails are constructed significantly in the district. Such rural transport infrastructure
is under the sole responsibility of local authority i.e. DDC/VDCs. The inventory of these
transport infrastructure are very important in order to find the accessibility and inaccessibility
situation for planning transport infrastructure, condition of existing infrastructure for
rehabilitation, upgrading and maintenance. Hence, District Inventory of transport
infrastructure mainly road network was carried out in detail. Inventory of Trail Bridge was
collected from Trail Bridge Support Unit (TBSU).
a) Information Collection
Information about the existing rural roads, main trails and trail bridges were collected from
secondary information like DDC profile, Trail Bridge inventory from TBSU publication, Rural
Transport Infrastructure information available in DTO/DDC, previous DTMP report.
Information of road such as date of construction, funding mechanism was also collected
based on available information as well as through public consultation.
b) GPS Tracking/Inventory Survey of Roads
The inventory of existing roads was carried out in order to identify the position of alignments
and condition of infrastructures. In the past the spatial information used to be taken from the
topographical map. However, these are not been updated with the extension of existing
roads and construction of many new networks recently. Hence, road inventory in particular
was taken by Global Positioning System (GPS) and tracking the road alignment throughout.
Meanwhile, information regarding road surface type, traffic status on roads, serviceability of
roads, surface condition of roads, types and condition of crossings were also noted with the
spatial position from GPS. Serviceability of road, traffic status helps in identifying the
appropriate intervention required in particular link such as routine/periodic maintenance,
rehabilitation, and so on.
9|Page
c) Traffic survey
Finding of traffic volume is very important in order to find out the importance of road. For all
the road networks, Moving Observer Count (MOC) method was used for each vehicle type
with further support from data collected through rural participatory appraisal. Detail
calculation of MOC method is given by Eq (3). For the conversion of hourly flow to daily flow
Eq (4) was used. After getting daily vehicle flow for each type of vehicle, further it was
converted to equivalent of Passenger Car Unit PCU) as per the guideline. Finally all the PCU
for particular section was added representing the traffic volume for that link.
HT = (x + y - z) / t Eq (3)
DT = 16 x HT Eq.(4)
Where,
HT = hourly traffic
x = vehicles traveling in opposite direction
y = vehicles overtaking the observer
z = vehicles overtaken by the observer
t = time in hours
DT = Daily traffic
d) Preparation of DIM
Road alignment of existing roads, main trail, trail bridges and other Rural Transport
Infrastructures (RTIs) were plotted in the map. The tracked alignment from GPS was
downloaded in compatible software and finally imported to GIS application for finalization.
The important information such as completed section of road, under-construction road; their
length has been clearly indicated in the map either by legend or in tabular form.
After the preparation of DIM accessibility analysis was carried out in order to find the
coverage of accessibility within 4 hours of walking distance as per the National Transport
Policy. This analysis was carried out by using GIS Model. This model also gives accessibility
within 20 min, 2 hour, and 4 hours of walking distance from letf & right to the roadhead.
e) Presentation of DIM in DTICC meeting to Finalize and approve DIM
District Inventory Map (DIM) and Indicative Development Potential Map (IDPM) were also
shared in DTICC meeting arranged by DDC to share the findings of the study. All the
existing networks were discussed and shared. Similarly, present accessibility situation of
district was presented in GIS model indicating accessibility within 20 min, 2 hour, and 4
hours of walking distance from the road head. This clearly gave the picture of road network
gap in the district.
2.2.4 Task 4: Preparation of District Road Network
Emphasis is given to develop road network considering strategically important and

backbone/core roads. The challenge in Sindhupalchowk is with its geographical feature
consisting of hilly and mountainous terrain. The majority of settlements lie in ridge separated
by rivers in between. This geographical feature demands high density of road network to
meet the basic need of accessibility. However, due to the constraint of resources, the
present need is to meet fairly some level of access to all the part of district. As per the
National Transport Policy i.e. access with 4 hours walking distance is taken as the basis of
planning the road network. In addition, a fixed point system model is adopted for networking
market centers as nodal points.
10 | P a g e
a) Prepare GIS map of Nodal Points
The IDPM map with the position of market centre representing nodal points was used as
'Base Map'. The grading of market centres were also clearly shown in map. All the existing
road alignment from the road inventory was overlaid on the Geographical Information
System (GIS) map. This map was then used as the basic platform for developing the road
network.
b) Delineation of Accessible area
From the guiding principle of planning road network 4 hrs walking distance on either side of
the road corridor was taken as the zone of influence (ZoI). The present status of accessibility
is very important to assess real situation. Hence, accessibility coverage within ZoI of existing
road network was analysed using GIS model. This model delineates the accessible area to
20 minutes, 2 hours and 4 hours walking distance by buffering along the left and right of
existing road. This delineated area has been considered as accessible area.
The delineation of walking distance is based on different feature such as slope of terrain,
existence of river crossing means such as Bridge/Trail Bridge, Waterways etc. The GIS
Model has made following assumption with slope in delineating the walking distance.
‘It considers the steeper the slope the more the walking time. The assumption is: if
there is less than 12% slope a person can walk 4 Km per hour, if there is 12-24%
it takes double time to walk the same distance. Similarly for slope 24-36% three
times, for 36-48% four times, for 48-60% five times, for 60-72% six times, for 72-
84% seven times, for 84-96% eight times, for 96-108% nine times and for more
than 108% ten times’.
c) Delineation of inaccessible area
After delineating the accessible areas, the un-served areas which are beyond the ZoI (as per
National Transport Policy) has been taken as inaccessible area. Delineated inaccessible
area clearly indicates the demand of road network for accessibility.
d) Preliminary road network plan for inaccessible area
Preliminary road network was planned for inaccessible area based on the market centers as
nodal points and covering the entire inaccessible are within 4 hrs of walking distance. For
the selection of road nodal points, reference was taken from the previous DTMP.
Consultation was also carried with DDC and DTO in district about the demands. Similarly,
from the data collection of market survey, settlements inter-mobility was also studied. After
the selection of nodal points road corridors were proposed based on the topographical
features of terrain. For this purpose Topographical map from Survey Department was used.
As there is no demand for trail lines, it has not been considered in the new network planning.
The road corridor has been proposed with consideration of reduced number of bends, river
crossings to its most possibility.
Rural roads are categorized into two types i.e. district road and village road. District road
also functionally is classified in two types namely district road class A (RRA) and district road
class B (RRB) according to the criteria set out in the Interim Guideline for DTMP Preparation
(DoLIDAR-May 2010). District road which provides linkage to identified market centres are
11 | P a g e
only considered for the DTMP, while village road are under care of VDCs. The entire
preliminary road networks were classified accordingly.
e) Synchronization of Preliminary Road Network Plan with DTPP of Adjoining District
Mobility among the abutting district is very important during planning. Hence, in order to
synchronize the preliminary road network, different possibilities of interlinking the districts
were explored. Existing inter-district road linkages are studied and future possibility of
connecting was noted with the available road linkage of abutting district towards the border
area of Sindhupalchowk. Informal consultations were made with DDC/DTO, DTICC
members, and publics. This was then verified in cluster workshops.
f) Presentation of Proposed Preliminary Road network at DTICC meeting
Prior to disseminating information in cluster of Illaka level workshop, the preliminary road
network was presented in DTICC meeting. General scenario of district accessibility and
inaccessibility coverage was presented. Discussion was made on the proposed road
network and in return all the suggestions and feedbacks were collected and incorporated in
preliminary proposed road network plan.
g) Cluster (Constituency) level workshop
Based on the coverage of preliminary road network, geographical condition, centrality of

mobility, three constituency level workshops were planned by DTICC meeting. The
workshops were arranged by DDC. In total three regional market centers were selected for
the workshop i.e. Barhabise Bazaar (for Constituency No. 1), Chautara (for Constituency No.
2) and Melamchi Bazaar (for Constituency No. 3). Participants during the workshop were all
stakeholders including VDC secretaries, representative of major political party members,
businessman, social workers, and teachers, jobholder/s representatives from women, Dalit,
Janjati, disables, local NGOs and interested individual. Some of the ex-DDC members,
DTICC members and member of Constituent Assembly from the district were also attended
the workshop. The entire stakeholders were invited to attend the workshop in either of the
workshop. Invitation was made from formal letter from DDC, also disseminated through the
local FM (Radio Sindhu) announcement and major political parties of the district.
Foremost, DTMP study team clarified the objective of DTMP and the process of its
preparation. Presentation was also made on IDPM, DIM, preliminary road network,
possibility of inter-district connection for synchronization, preliminary network plan and
discussed in the workshop to collect their views and proposal for DTPP (on the basis of
preliminary road network). Further planned network within coverage of workshop areas was
verified with each alignment. Road network plan was thus finalised after completion of the all
workshop.
h) Socio-economic and Technical Survey
Socio-economic data required for prioritization of road corridor were taken from the field
study and also verified with household level survey conducted by DDC in 2065 B.S. for
updating the district profile. This data includes the population data with categorized into
ethnic, dalit group in settlement and ward-wise; Household poverty status (i.e. <3 months, 3-
6 months and >6 months food sufficiency etc).
Tentative construction cost for new roads were allocated based on the topographical feature.
The proposed road corridors in the network were classified into hilly, ridge,
ascending/descending alignment. Even within the same corridor, length of different
12 | P a g e
alignment was identified. Study was made with past experience on the construction cost with
different nature of alignment and specified technical complexity.
Construction cost is slightly varying depending on the labour-based or mechanized.

Moreover the different construction stage adopted and the status of road has been analyzed.
For this study, indicative cost for the construction of new track to existing road network (to
the proposed last destination) as hilly, ridge and ascending/descending based on earthen
surface roads with 4.00 to 4.50m wide is considered.
2.3 Preparation of District Transport Perspective Plan (DTPP)
After finalizing the road network plan, socio-economic analysis was carried out as per the
criteria set out in the Interim Guidelines for Preparing DTMP in the prioritization of each
proposed linkages. Similarly, Prospective plan for Trail Bridge was collected from
TBSU/Helvetas.
a) Data Entry and Analysis

Data entry and analysis (in excel and using GIS applications wherever possible) of influence
area of proposed road corridor and existing road link was carried out for new construction
and rehabilitation respectively. The analysis differs with proposed new corridor and the
existing road link. For the proposed new road corridor data analysis was mainly with
population, cultivated land, estimated construction cost. At the mean time, for existing road
linkage analysis was mainly with traffic volume, functional index of market centers.
It is not possible to construct all roads or maintain existing roads at a time due to resource
and time constraint. Therefore each link in a network needs prioritization based on the
different indicators. At the level of planning it is not possible to conduct detail economic
analysis in evaluating in terms of Economic Net Present Value (ENPV), Economic Internal
Rate of Return (EIRR) and Economic Cost Benefit Ratio (ECBR). Hence, Cost Efficiency
Analysis (CEA) method was used for the analysis.
b) Scoring system for Prioritization of New Road linkage

Scoring system for new construction of roads and rehabilitation of existing roads are based
on the indicators presented below in Table 2.1 and Table 2.2 respectively.
Table 2.1 Scoring System for Prioritization of Proposed New Construction of Road
S.N. Parameters Indicator Unit Score

13 | P a g e
Score for each indicator was allocated based on the following Eq (5) and/or Eq (6) for roads
on the basis of their respective values and ranked based on obtained value ranking.
High Value Ranking
'x' (Value)
d= * Score
Max 'x' (Value) -------- Eq (5)
Where,
d= Derived Score
'x' = Original indicator value
Max 'x' = Maximum original indicator value
Min 'x' = Minimum original indicator value
For each area of investigation in high value ranking, the road link with the highest indicator
value assigned highest score and for others linkages the weightage have been calculated on
the basis of respective value divided by highest value. This will give weightage of each
linkage and score/value is calculated by multiplying weightage and the highest score
available under the relevant indicators. This is a simple calculation to avoid possible
confusion as the road with highest value were given maximum score assigned for the
particular indicator and for other roads, score assigned with value they obtained (i.e.
weightage * maximum score = 'x' value).
c) Parameter and Indicators for Prioritization of New Construction or Extension
Four parameters have been suggested by the guideline for the prioritization of the new road
linkages or extension of existing linkage. The indicators are broadly based on socio-
economic and technical data related to each individual road corridor. The main indicator
Distance within 4 hours walking time on either side i.e. left and right of the road corridor has
been taken as the Zone of Influence (ZoI). For the overlapping of ZoI, it is separated based
on natures of terrain, existence of rivers that determines mobility.
Population per unit Cost
Population per unit cost has been taken as an important parameter for prioritization of
linkage. Considering its importance, it has been given high score (55). To prioritize the
linkage from this parameter, population of influence area and cost of linkage are required.
The population within the ZoI has been taken as the beneficiaries of a proposed road.
Population per unit cost from total population divided by investment cost in lakh (hundred
thousand) rupees was used as the indicator. The road having the highest beneficiaries
population per investment cost is given highest scores i.e. 55 and other roads according to
their weightage value.
Cultivated land
It is very important that a road should be economically viable; however, the economic benefit
is a broader phenomenon that includes several economic activities which are difficult to
quantify. Therefore, cultivated land within ZoI as per the guideline has been taken as a one
of the parameter for prioritization of proposed transport linkage.
14 | P a g e
Population × Walking Hour
The population and waking hour was also taken one of the parameter. Four hours walking
distance from road-head to each of the settlement has demarked using the GIS model. This
walking time was collected during walkover field survey. Population of each settlement with
its walking distance was multiplied and aggregated for the whole ZoI for particular road
corridor. The Linkage having the highest per km number of populations gets the highest
score i.e. 20 and other roads according to their weightage value.
Total Population of Poor, Dalits and marginalized Janjatis
The areas inhabited by poor, dalits, janajati and marginalized people are consider as
parameter for prioritization of roads. In this regards, the population of poor, dalits and
marginalized janjatis within the ZoI was sorted out from the Households (HH) survey
conducted by DDC and population per unit length of road corridor was taken as indicator.
The road having the highest beneficiaries of said population per km length are given highest
scores i.e. 10 and other roads according to their weightage value.
d) Parameters and Indicators for Prioritization for Rehabilitation and Up-grading
Cost for Rehabilitation
Cost estimate for rehabilitation is calculated based on the surface condition. The surface
condition was observed during the walkover field survey and estimated from the similar
nature of rehabilitation and upgrading works. The Linkage having the lowest per km cost was
allocated the highest scores i.e. 20 and other roads according to their weightage value.
Traffic Unit
Information of Traffic data were all collected from field survey carried out during walkover.
Various types of vehicular and pedestrian traffic occupy the surface of rural transport linkage
and impose different loads on the structure. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify the various
traffic volumes in terms of a standard traffic unit, called `Transport Unit (TU)’ or the
`Passenger Car Unit (PCU)’. This is defined as the traffic equivalent to impact caused by a
normal car, light van, jeep or a pick-up traveling at a speed of 40 km/hr. The composition of
traffic and the respective traffic coefficients adopted as per guideline are adopted as given in
Annex B, Table B.5. Number of Traffic Unit was used as the indicator. The linkage having
the highest value of this indicator was given highest scores i.e. 70 and other roads according
to their weightage value.
Market /Service Centre
Market centre along the road alignment is one the important parameter in determining the
size of economic activities generated. Those market centers which are likely to attract the
economic activities from particular road link were considered. Centrality Index of market
centers were aggregated for each road link which forms the basic indicator. The linkage
having the highest value of this indicator was given the highest scores i.e. 10 and other
roads according to their weightage value.
15 | P a g e
e) Prioritization of Proposed Trail Bridge
The prioritization of Trail Bridge was developed by TBSU/Helvetas. This is based on

following formula derived on the basis of a simulation model using ICIMOD indices, related
poverty, education, health etc. used by TBSU/Helvetas.
Prioritization Formula for New Construction

SSTB {(2.041 P+2.856 MP)×DG} × {{(12-RT)×(1+RF/100)}/12} --- Eq (6)
LSTB 0.3 × {(2.041 P+2.856 MP)×DG} × {{(12-RT)×(1+RF/100)}/12} --- Eq (7)
Prioritization Formula for Major Maintenance

SSTB 2 ×{(2.041 P+2.856 MP)×DG} × {{(12-RT)×(1+RF/100)}/12} --- Eq (8)
Prioritization Formula for Rehabilitation

SSTB 1 ×{(2.041 P+2.856 MP)×DG} × {{(12-RT)×(1+RF/100)}/12} --- Eq (10)
Where,
P = Population i.e. the beneficiaries population of the prospective bridge
MP = Marginalized population (total dalit + marginalized janajatis + total minority + total
poor from other caste)
DG = Distance Gained
RT = River Type (no. of months crossable without a bridge)
RF = Risk Factor (Percent of population that has died within the last five year.
f) After the prioritization of all the transport linkage and overlay in DIM, DTPP was
prepared.
g) Presentation of Draft District Transport Perspective Plan (DTPP) in DTICC and

finalization DTPP
Draft District Transport Perspective Plan was presented in DTICC meeting. Study team
presented the Interim Guideline for DTMP and explained the process of prioritization of
proposed transport linkages in detail. All the genuine demands from the workshops were
presented. After the presentation, in depth discussions were carried. Comment and
feedbacks were collected and incorporated for the finalization of DTPP.
2.3.1 Preparation of Five Year District Transport Master Plan (DTMP)
a) List all transport linkages given in the Perspective Plan
All the transport linkage included in Perspective Plan was listed under the following
categories.
• New construction/ Extension of existing
• Rehabilitation
• Maintenance
These lists were prepared separately for various classes of District Roads and Trail Bridges.
In case of Trail lines, budget has been allocated while detailed plan will be carried out in the
need basis.

2.3.2 Five Year’s Projected Financial Plan
Financial trend of previous three years was studied. This helps in analysing the sources of
fund and the amount of flow from each source. Then based on the past trend, Next Five
Year’s Projected Financial Plan was prepared in consultation with DDC by accounting all
possible financial resources of DDC and other possible sources. The plan also included the
proportion in percent for each category of intervention i.e. new construction, rehabilitation/
upgrading and maintenance.
b) Five Year District Transport Master Plan
After the list of prioritized transport linkage as DTPP and year-wise financial plan, Five Year
District Transport Master Plan was prepared. As DTPP consists of long list of linkage that
could take 10 to 15 years, the selection of road and trail bridges for DTMP is very important.
Hence, for the first five years plan in depth discussion was carried out in DTICC meeting with
reference to financial plan. Eventually DTMP was finalised. This was then submitted to DDC
for the approval.
c) Endorsement of the Five year District Transport Master Plan of District
DDC will submit the final District Transport Master Plan to District Council for approval.
DTICC with the support of planning team will brief the Council on the entire process of
preparation including scoring system for prioritization. The DTMP has been finally approved
by the District Council.
2.3.3 Limitations of DTMP Study
Limitations of this study are:
1. Approximate construction cost has been assumed based on types of alignment. The
construction cost of particular road corridor was not possible in this planning level.
2. The budget to be received for the implementation of road projects has been prepared
after analyzing the historical trend of budgets. But there may be some changes in
allocation of budgets for the road sector in future.
3. The district road networks included in the DTMP is prepared based on the most
technically feasible alignment among the alternatives remaining on the national
transport policy and major market centers as nodal point and the optimum social
economic value within the zone of influence. However, the environmental and
economical feasibility remains out of scope which is however need to verify during
the project implementation.
Prioritization is based on the parameters within the ZoI in either sides of road alignment,
while it doesn’t take into account the some economical potential ahead with the road
connection.

CHAPTER III: INDICATIVE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL MAP

(IDPM)
3.1 Background
In planning the road network, it is very important to identify the major market/service centers
and various development potential areas within the district. Market/service centers
comparatively are expected to have good facilities for health, education, communication,
infrastructural development as well as have many opportunities. People residing in rural
areas often need to travel to these centers for getting those services. Hence a good
transport system is one of the basic needs for their accessibility to those exclusive facilities.
Moreover, potential areas such as extensive agriculture, horticulture and livestock farming,
high value cash crops, fisheries, tourism locations, historic and religious places, hydropower
potential area, agro-based industries etc. in the district, if connected with basic transport
system, then those untapped resource could be the huge potential for the district
development. Hence in identifying the market centers with its service component, and
exploring the district’s potentials for planning the road network, primary and secondary
means of data collection were carried out. After the detail study of collected data, identified
market/service centers, development potentials has been indicated in Indicative
Development Potential Map (IDPM) i.e. Map A.2, Map A.3 and Map A.4.
3.2 District Profile Analysis
3.2.1 Introduction
Sindhupalchowk was a part of ‘Kantipur State’ since the Lichchhivi regime. It was under the
control of Thapa regime during the period of unification of Nepal. After the unification,
Prithvinarayan Shah has synchronized it to ‘Bhakatpur State’ ruled by Ranajit Malla.
Sindhupalchowk was merged into unified Nepal after 1754 A.D. Previously; the
administrative control of Sindhupalchowk was managed from Ghumthang near the Tibetan
border. Later in 1880 A.D. the army barrack was established in Chautara and it was later
converted to Sindhupalchowk/Chautara Goshwara. Since then for a long period of time, the
administrative works of Sindhupalchowk and Kavrepalanchok district was managed from
Sindhupalchowk/Chautara Goshwara. In 1962 A.D., Chautara Goshwara was reshuffled and
split the Goshwara in two districts namely Sindhupalchowk and Kavrepalanchok. In 1962
A.D., the administrative classification of country into 14 zones & 75 districts, both
Sindhupalchowk and Kavrepalanchok district lies in Bagmati zone of central development
region.
For district level planning purpose data and information about district has been compiled and
analyzed. The reliable information regarding the physical and natural resources including the
religious, historical and archeological sectors are essential for the proper planning. The
information regarding the physical characteristics, demographic characteristics, historical
and religious places were taken from recently published District Profile 2067.

Based on the Centrality Index, Market Centers have been categorized in to four categories
i.e. Grade A (CI >100), Grade B (CI >50-100, Grade C (CI >25-50) & Potential CI <25. From
the analysis, Chautara is the highest ranked market center (Constituency no. 2) followed by
Barhabise (Constituency no. 1) and Melamchi (Constituency no. 3) which approximately
covers 35% weightage of total Centrality Index. On the whole, 17% market centers lies in
category A (9 nos.), 37.7% in B (20 nos.), 34% in C (18 nos.) and 11.3% (6 nos.) in potential
category (ref Figure 3.4).
Geographical locations of Market Centers are important for knowing general types of
alignments in network planning. The geographical position of market centers are categorized
as ridge settlement, hill slope settlement and low land settlement. From the observation,
26.4% market centers are ridge settlements, 28.3% are hill slope and 45.3% are low land
settlement (ref Figure 3.5). Moreover, Table 3.22 indicates that 14 market centers lies at
ridge settlement, 15 market centers lies at hill slope and rest 24 market centers lies at low
land settlement. In fact the ridge settlements are separated by physical barrier mainly river.
Hence, this clearly indicates the demand of large numbers of ascending and descending
alignment during planning of new network.

CHAPTER IV: DISTRICT INVENTORY MAP OF ROADS (DIM)

4.1 Existing Transport Situation
Sindhupalchowk district depended on land transport only for the means of traveling and
transporting goods. There is no air transport service available in the district. Araniko highway
was constructed around 50 years back and therefore numbers of road has been constructed
and are under construction stages. Till the end of study period (March 2011) about 2484.72
km road exists in the district of which 145.81 km (5.9%) is strategic roads, 1417.20 km (57%)
is district roads and village road is 921.71 km (37.1%). According to type of road surface,
black topped is 119.31 km (4.8%), graveled is 46.50 km (1.9%), earthen road 2318.91 km
(93.3%). Of the total lengths of 2484.72 km, 2257.55 km is motorable road (vehicles can ply
during fair weather), of which 647.12 km (28.7%) is easily vehicle passable, 1610.43 km
(71.3%) is vehicle operable with difficulty during fair weather and 227.17 Km is non-
motorable bearing 9.14% of total 2484.72 km. Many roads are under construction (track
opening) width having less than 3.00m (leaving some major district roads constructed
following rural road standards). Village roads are not considered for analysis. Accordingly,
the total road density is 97.75 per 100 Sq;km and motorable road density is 88.80 per 100
sq.km of area (Ref Table 4.1), which is significantly high in context of rural roads in hill
district of Nepal. However, unlike in other districts, whole road network is concentrated along
the alignment of national strategic roads and major district roads especially lower belt of the
district. Whereas missing road linkage at northern part being mountainous and protected
area (Shivapuri Watershed Management and Langtang National Park). Apart from these
significant networks in the district, proper vehicle parking infrastructure is also been missing
in the road network system.

4.6 List of Other Village Roads:

Data of following 192 additional village roads were collected during field visit (source; local
people as well as from the information collected during cluster workshops) and available
records in DDC/DTO in due course of updating DTMP. GPS device are not used as the
roads are of smaller in nature and constructed to linking settlements/wards within the VDC.
Furthermore, the track of the listed roads was constructed after the field visit or some of
them are missing in the DDC/DTO records and therefore not identified during field visit.

4.10 Road Assets Value
Road assets value is the monetary value of the road infrastructure. This depends on the year of
construction, serviceability of road and depreciations as presented in the following table. Further,
it also depends upon the section of roads where vehicle operation situations; such as easily
passable, passable with difficulty and impassable. Road asset value of existing roads has
estimated based on the visual inspection. Total asset value of road network of Sindhupalchowk
district has been estimated approximately to NRs 2202 million (calculated @ NRs 6,500,000 per
km for black topped strategic road, NRs. 3,500,000 for graveled strategic road, and for earthen
road (district road class A @ NRs. 850,000; district road class B @ NRs. 650,000 and village
roads @ NRs. 450,000) per km. However, this needs to be verified with the Department of Roads
(DoR). The road asset book value should be maintained regularly (each fiscal year end) once the
works being completed. Table 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13 gives examples on how it should be
calculated and maintained.

CHAPTER V: DISTRICT ROAD NETWORK PLANNING

Rural transportation mainly deals with providing accessibility to the abutting people,
mechanizing and commercializing the agriculture, promoting the non-farm sector and
providing the extension and administrative services to the local people. In the context of
Nepal, a fixed point system model is adopted for networking where junctions are confined to
a finite set of location (market, historical locations).
5.1 Accessibility Situation
Sindhupalchowk has developed road network since the construction of Araniko highway
about 45 years back. This highway directly connected to capital city Kathmandu with the
Chinese border at Kodari/Tatopani. Trading with Khasa bazaar of Tibet/China was started
once the the road linkage developed and therefore Sindhupalchowk is the main trading point
of Chinese goods. Lamosanghu-Jiri road and Dolalghat-Chautara road network was
developed afterwards. Similarly Panchakahl-Helambu road and other district roads were
opened during year 2035/36. The source of well known Melamchi Drinking Water Supply
Project (MDWSP, which proposed to supply of water to Kathmandu valley) also lies in
Sidhupalchowk district. Upgrading of the Panchakhal-Helambu road is undertaken by the
MDWSP with Asian Development Bank’s grant assistance and is under progress as access
road to MDWSP. The construction of road network in Sindhupalchowk drastically increased
after restoration of democracy as the budget allocation for the district has increased year by
year. Further the MDWSP also allocates some budget for the development of road network
as Neighbourhood Support Programme. At present 359 road networks consisting 2484.72
km have been opened so far. Maintaining and upgrading the existing roads are the main
challenges to the district.
After collecting all existing road data within the district with using GPS device, all the field
data were transferred into the GIS Map. An attempt was made to assess the accessibility
situation of the district with the help of modelling in GIS. The Sindhupalchowk district
belongs to hilly and mountaineous area. For analysis purpose it is considered as hilly area,
so that the area from where people can reach the road-head of all weather roads within 4
hours walk has been considered as accessibility area and beyond that area considered as
inaccessibility araea. The study reveals that most of the existing roads are earthen and fair
weather in nature; hence roads are opened (i.e. operable) only during winter season.
5.1.1 Zone of Influence Area
According to the National Transport Policy, 4 hours walking distance (left and right of the
road alignment) has been considered as the zone of influence (ZoI) for the hilly terrain.
Mainly influencing factors such as a) the degree of hill slope, b) existence of rivers and c)
existence of river crossing were used in determining the ZoI.
There are in total 53 market centers namely Chautara, Barhabise, Melamchi, Khadichaur,
Jalbire, Tatopani, Lamosanghu, Mude, Tautahli, Bahunepati, Balefi, Syaule, Sipapokhare,
Sipaghat, Sangachok, Kattike, Nawalpur, Gyalthum, Irkhu, Talamarang, Tipeni, Sukute,
Botechaur, Chanaute (IchokVDC), Chanaute (BaramchiVDC), Chaku, Thokarpa, Attarpur
(Ghyangdanda), Sildhunga, Budhepa/Bagar, Timbu (Helambu), Melchaur, Lishankhu,
Chautarchaap, Ramche, Bhimtar, Jyamiremane, Chehere, Fatkeshwor, Kakaling, Dhande,
Ghumthang, Sikre, Listi, Kothe, Jyamire/Janata Ma.Vi, Nayapul, Tekanpur, Piskar,
Chhapbhanjyang (Thakle) and Naubise are directly connected to the road-head eithr through
national strategic road network or by district road networks (ref Annex A, Map A.4).
87 | P a g e
5.1.2 Delineation of Accessible Area
Delineation of accessible within ZoI is carried out using the GIS model which is shown in
Map A.5-3 in Annex A. From the accessibility analysis, out of total 2542 sq.km area; 62%
lying within accessible area, 10% is inaccessible area and 28%
area within protected area (wildlife). Likewise the analysis of
accessible area reveals that approximately 57% of the zone
of influence (ZoI) area coverage lies within 2 hours walking
28%
distance, and 43% within 4 hours walking distance.
Similarly 58% cultivated land within ZoI lying under 2 hours
62%
walking distance and 42% lies withing 4 hours walking
distance. This indicates that at present majority of
10%
area/population of Sindhupalchowk is accessible to
motorable roads (ref Figure 5.1 and Table 5.1). The planning
team proposes the road network for the inaccessible areas
delineated by the ZoI analysis.

Source: DTMP updating study 2010
5.2 Inaccessible Area
The un-served areas which are beyond the the ZoI (as per national transport policy) is taken
as inaccessible areas. The area lying within protected area namely; Langtang National Park
and Shivapuri Wildlife Reserve area is 28% and other 10% area considered as inaccessible.
Most of the area within inaccessible settlement is very low. Socio-economic activities in
those areas depend on foot trails, animal pack for the means of transport. The planning team
proposes to extend already proposed road network for the inaccessible areas delineated by
the ZoI analysis. Excluding the protected wildlife area, the inaccessible area comes to 14%
and 86% areas within accessible.
5.3 Network Planning in Inaccessible Area
With the detail study of accessibility, network planning was carried out for further extension
of existing road network to inaccessible areas in meeting the national goal as set out by the
National Transport Policy. Hence, road network was planned such that around 97% of the
areas are within 4 hours of walking distance. During the planning, possible synchronization
of road linkage with the abutting districts was also carried out. These planned road networks
are only class A and class B the district roads.
As discussed in Chapter III, more than half of the market centers located at ridge or hill
slope, and are separated by numbers of rivers and streams. Hence majority of the planned
alignments are under the ascending and descending category. In total about 202.56 km of
district road network has been planned to extend to last destination in meeting the district
transport policy. Details of each proposed road corridor is given in Annex B, Table B.7.

CHAPTER VI: DISTRICT TRANSPORT PERPECTIVE PLAN

(DTPP)
6.1 Prospective Plan of District Rural Road Network
This is a long term plan targeted to meet the transport strategic plan. Total 30 road corridors
with 202.56 km of road sections have been identified for District Transport Perspective Plan
(DTPP). All the proposed links are extension of the existing linkage (ref Annex B, Table
B.7). With these new sections of 202.56 km and 2484.72 km of existing road network, total
road length expected to be 2687.28 km and density is expected to be 105.72 km per 100 sq
km after the prospective plan. Moreover, after the target of DTPP, about 97% of areas are
expected to be within accessible ZoI and more than 57% accessible to 2 hrs of walking
distance (ref Table 6.1).

Each of the existing road sections were visually inspected for the rehabilitation. Those
sections which cannot be maintained by routine and periodic maintenance are
recommended for rehabilitation/improvement. Mainly the road sections which have difficulty
in passing require reconstruction of road pavement and new structures, improvement of
drainage system, improvement of geometric design etc. have been selected rehabilitation.
The list of road sections for rehabilitation is listed in Annex B, Table B.8.
6.2 Scoring System for Prioritization of Proposed Linkage
A network consists of several links. It is not possible to construct all roads at a time due to
resource gap, time constraint and limited management capacity. Therefore each link in the
network should be prioritized. After developing a district level network, the road engineer
prepares the cost estimate of the road and benefit of each link in the network. Cost
Efficiency Analysis (CEA) is used to prioritise new transport linkage. Criteria such as per
population cost, cultivated land coverage, population accessibility and special social
consideration (of inclusiveness) receive weightage (points) relative to their perceived
importance. Each road link is then allocated the number of points corresponding to the
fulfilment of the particular criteria. The aggregate number of points that each intervention
receives is computed by simply adding the points allocated per indicator. The result of this
process leads to a ranking of the investment options.
Similarly for rehabilitation/upgrading of existing network, the criteria adopted are traffic
volume, cost incurred and weightage based on connection to market centers. Each of the
road corridor identified in DTPP has been prioritized based on above indicators. This has
been explained in detail in Chapter II. The following criteria are used for prioritization of new

transport linkage and rehabilitation of existing road linkages. Each indicator has been
assessed within ZoI of each proposed planned road corridor.

6.3 Prioritization of District Road for New (Extension) Linkage

Summary of prioritization of each proposed road corridor with their ranking is given in Table 6.4.
Balefi Jalbire Tembathan road is the highest ranked followed by Barhabise Ramche Maneswara
Ghumthng Listi Bhairavkunda road. Similarly, Chaku Marming Deudhunga road is the least
ranked road corridor. All the corridors are only extension of existing road to reach the proposed
end point/destination. Hence, during the selection of proposed road corridor for DTMP, these
factors have also been taken in to account in addition to its rank given by indicators.

The summary of past three years budge trend is given in Table 7.1. Annual average budget
in road sector is around 167 million and covers about 95% of total budget in transport sector.
The overall trend of budget is also illustrated in Figure 7.1. There is imbalance in budget
110 | P a g e
trend over the years, which is due to the present of RRRSDP fund, direct funding from
ministry of finanace (MoF) and minsirty of local development (MoLD) has special budget
allocation under people’s participation based development funds etc. Excluding these funds,
the average annual budget comes nearly 109 million in road sector. Similarly, Trail Bridge
accounts about 4.6% of total budget and trail lines half percent. MoLD, MoF, DoLIDAR,
RRRSDP, RCIW, SDC, LGCDP, RBN etc are the source these of budget.

7.2 Five Year Projected Financial Plan
The first five-year projected plan is prepared by considering all possible funding sources.
The budget for fiscal year 067/68 is based on the District Development Plan approved by
District Council and for rest of the years, assumptions based on certain percentage
increment in the budget of each fiscal year. In addition, budget sources under some
categories has been expected to increase year by yaer. The DDC matching fund is set aside
for various programmes (such as SWAp, TBP, RBN etc.). It is also assumed that 60% of
DDC block grant, 30% of VDCs grant, 15% of Parliamentarian fund expects to set aside for
road sector as this is the trend of budget allocation since it is politically important for the
contribution. Like previous budget allocation trend, the coming initial two yeras budget
resources also seems high due to presence of RRRSDP programme budget.

Table 7.3 shows the summary of budget in each sector of transport with year wise
indications. This summary excludes the RRRSDP budget as this budget has already been
committed for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of two roads namely Sildhunga-Tauthali-
Tekanpur and Naubise-Chautara-Nawalpur-Melamchi road and also for 2 motorable bridges
(Balephi and Kubinde khola) plus 16 trail bridges construction. Some budget to be set aside
for maintenance fund and micro-projects within the ZOI VDCs/clusters. The expected budget
shown in Figure 7.2 seems high due to presence of RRRSDP programme budget.

7.5 Year-Wise Targets
From the experience and records of past years from 2064/65 to 2066/67 (2007 to 2010), about
1817.61 km of road section in total and approximately 467.9 km per year has been constructed
in Sindhupalchowk with available different sources of funds in the DDC and donor’s grant. This
includes approximately 43.50 km road constructed by DoR, Shivapuri Wildlife Conservation
Area Office and Melamchi Drinking Water Supply Project as feeder road. Inspection road and
audit roads (to tunnel construction). For the coming two years, RRRSDP will undertake the
rehabilitation/reconstruction of 22.90 km section of Sildhunga-Tauthal-Tekanpur road and
around 43 km section of Naubise-Chautara-Nawalpur-Melamchi road including 40m and 12m
span 2 RCC Bridges over Balephi khola and Kubinde khola on same road alignment. Since the
DRSP has been phased over from fiscal year 2067/068 (2010/11), the RTI-SWAp budget
expected to double than what allocated in previous years. As such the road construction
progress of last three years in the district seems significantly high i.e. about 644.5% which is
much more than what the DTMP 2007 targeted. This is the result of significant additional budget
allocated from central government in fiscal year 2064/65 and 2065/66 and use of excavator for
road track openening. However, the opened track is narrow (width of most roads having 3m to
4m) with sharp bends and no provision of passing-byes and provision of needy road structures;
this increased the challenges to DDC for maintaining and upgrading the constructed roads to all
weather condition. Hence it is utmost important to allocate more resources for rehabilitation and
maintenance of existing roads so that smooth vehicle operation could be continued. On the
121 | P a g e
otherhand, many roads yet to be extended to the last destinations as proposed so that it may
serve the local people as envisaged by the National Transport Policy of 4 hours walking
distance to the nearest road-head.
Based on possible funding resources in the district, DTMP envisages extending further 124 km
(annual average of 25 km) district road/s to the end-point/destination. Similarly, the 5-year
financial projection expects to cover the rehabilitation/upgrading of approximately 201 km
existing roads (approximately 40 km per year) and 1566km major roads of the district for routine
and/or periodic maintenance (ref Table 7.6).
Likewise, for Trail Bridges, 2326 meter span new bridge and 2019 meter span rehabilitation of
existing trail bridges have been set as the target based on the prioritized list. However, the
numbers of Trail Bridge to be selected based on their respective span. For the trail lines, target
has not been set. Most of these are likely to be fixed in village level according to need and
demand received during planning exercises. Hence, regarding trail lines, this is planned as per
the demand.
Year-wise target and budget projected has also been given for each fiscal year and each
component of transport sector for new construction and rehabilitation in Table 7.7 to 7.9

7.6 Prioritized Transport Linkage for DTMP
For the first five years planning as DTMP, list of prioritized road corridor and Trail Bridge
from DTPP has been proposed as follows based on respective scoring.
7.6.1 Prioritized District Roads – RRA & RRB

DTMP road was selected based on the scores/prioritization of road network and possible
funds available in the District. Table 7.9 and 7.10 shows the list of selected district road
(RRA & RRB) corridors for new track (i.e. extension of already planned) construction. The
detail of prioritization of each road corridor is explained in chapter VI. Implementation plan
for each road has been prepared in Table 7.11. Similarly, Table 7.11 shows the list of road
link for rehabilitation.

7.6.2 Prioritized Roads for Maintenance

Based on the traffic movement and vehicle operational status, Rekhalus (Length-persons)
are employed for maintaining the various roads are in place in Sindhupalchowk. This is one
of the indicator of sustainable development and therefore the maintenance works need to be
continued through the Rekhalus. For the current fiscal year 2067/68, Annual Road
Maintenance Plan (ARMP) has been prepared. The following roads are selected/prioritized
for the maintenance (routine and periodic). Table 7.11 and 7.12 shows the list of prioritized
roads for routine/periodic maintenance and their Corridor VDCs/ ZoI.

7.7 Accessibility-DTMP
For this achievement of five years plan of DTMP, DDC has to manage the deficit fund as
shown in Table 7.6 and Table 7.7 from some other source. If all the proposed roads are
constructed, then total road length will be approximately 2687.28km with road density 105.72
km per 100 sq km. Similarly 69% of the total area will be accessible to road head within 4 hrs
walking distance, whereas inaccessible area is only 3% and protected area comes to 28%
(ref Table 7.15, Table 7.16)
Table -7.16: Road Statistic, DTMP

DIM road 2484.72 km

CHAPTER VIII: CONCLUSION
8.1 Other Relevant Issues
Bus operation in newly constructed road linkages are increasing since local people demand
to Transport Entrepreneurs Association for the operation of public buses to the new routes.
With this increase in mobility, road accident is also becoming frequent and causing several
fatalities, injuries and loss of properties. This could be due to not following road standards
during construction resulting poor physical condition of the road infrastructure or due to the
immature and untrained drivers or their negligence. Hence, proactive measure has to be
taken in reducing such unwanted events along the road sections.
Construction of road by excavator has been increasing in the recent days and the progress
seemed significant. The reason would be due to lower cost in track opening and requirement
of less management compared to the labour based approach. However, sustainability of
road constructed using excavator is questionable and therefore, local employment
opportunity through labour-based approach should be given priority. On the other hand
shortage/problem of enough local labours is the burning issues on road construction
adopting labour-based approach. If the numbers of labours required are not enough for
meeting the target by this approach, then at least involvement of all the available labours is
recommended.
8.2 Conclusion
DTMP with its five years planning should come up with the practical physical
implementation. Every year, during the district council, DTMP should be the reference
documents for the selection, prioritization and allocation of budget in transport sector. No
new road section at least for the first five years should be introduced for physical
implementation. Moreover, in order to come up with the deficit budget in DTMP, “one door
approach for investment” in transport sector should be strictly followed as envisaged by the
Rural Transport Infrastructure Sector-wide Approach (RTI-SWAp). Due preference shall be
given for maintenance and upgrading of existing roads rather than taking up new track
construction. Maintenance system shall be materialized and sufficient funds shall be set
aside to promote routine maintenance through Rekhalus (length workers). Since many roads
have been constructed in the district, DDC and the stakeholders should seek for the possible
source of budget for maintaining the roads being constructed and improvement as
demanded by the site conditions. Moreover, it is true that donors are likely to be convinced if
the planning is strictly followed by the district.
In regard of collecting more sources of fund, VDC development grant could be one of the
best sources if all the VDCs along the road corridor agree in contribution in addition to
SWAp, LGCDP and DDCs’ own resources. For this DDC and DTICC need to initiate and
coordinate before allocating the budget for that particular corridor.
Along with the practical implementation, continuous monitoring should also be carried out by
DTICC. Timely backstopping is necessary in order to stop misleading during implementation.
Similarly, Mid-term review should also be carried out to each roads having allocation of
significant budget. After the period of five years, DTMP needs further updating. In adherence
to the DoLIDAR implementation directive labour based approach should be strictly adopted
for the physical interventions.
