As a part of the ongoing Muglin-Pokhara road expansion project, a total of 19.5 km of road has been blacktopped. The blacktopping has been completed from Anbukhaireni to Bandipur of Tanahu district.

Engineer mobilized under the project, Bishnu Prasad Pande, informed that among the blacktopping, there is a two-way pitch in the 7.2 km stretch of the blacktopped road.

The blacktopping work is currently underway at the Baradi section. It would be carried out on both sides, he added.

The locals and travelers had complained that the dusty road had caused sheer inconvenience to them.

Similarly, a motorable bridge in arc design is being constructed over the Madi River. The bridge, which connects Byas municipality ward no 4 and 5, is constructed at the cost of Rs 210 million.

The Muglin-Pokhara road expansion project is being carried out in two phases.
