Enhanced Road Connectivity Creates Opportunities in Nepal

ADB has supported the government in upgrading about 310 kilometers (km) of roads under the Subregional Transport Enhancement Project (STEP). The project has expanded road capacity of major trade routes and provided rural communities in the northeast with a north–south link to the east–west highway, one of Nepal's main trade corridor routes. The project has upgraded and modernized customs clearance systems for transparent and simplified customs clearance procedures. Investments in improving road and related infrastructure have been an important part of ADB’s strategy in Nepal to reduce poverty and support economic growth.
