Ring Road Expansion

The Kathmandu Valley has seen an unprecedented influx of people from all over the country as all the infrastructures, services and facilities have been concentrated in the Valley. The Ring Road, constructed in 1997, could not cater to the growing population's needs and the pace of rapid urbanisation. The 27-km-long Ring Road became congested with traffic jams, prompting the need to expand it. The Ring Road expansion was crucial to improve transportation infrastructure within the city, which is home to almost five million people.
