FOREWORD

It is my great pleasure to introduce the Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of

Bagamati Province of Nepal. PTMP is a planned document for the development of the
Provincial Roads to enhance the accessibility condition of transport infrastructure and
services in the province to upgrade the road network and improve connectivity. The
integrated road development approach has been envisaged to streamline the budget
expenditure on priority investment on road infrastructure development.

I believe this document will be helpful to materialize the Provincial Public Road and Vehicle
Infrastructure Act, through planning, resource mobilization, implementation, and monitoring
of road development. This document is very essential in lobbying the donor agencies through
the central government to attract the fund gap. Furthermore, this document will be supportive
in avoiding prevailing duplication in resource allocation in the road interventions by
considering the basket fund approach on the overall transport infrastructure of the province.

I would like to express my gratitude for the support of the Bagamati Province government for
the financial support, especially Chief minister Mr. Dormani Paudyal, Minister(Ministry of
Physical Infrastructure Development) Mr. Rameswar Phuyal, the secretaries Mr. Sanjeev
Baral and Mr. Tejraj Bhatta, Senior Divisional Engineer Navin Kumar Singh, Engineer
Punya Ram Sulu and Engineer Jyanendra Pun for the valuable input on finalization of the
document. I would like to thank all six IDOs, Er. Hari Prasad Ojha and Road Expert Er.
Aashish Khadka of the directorate for the valuable input and comments. I would like to thank
Dr. Hare Ram Shrestha, Team Leader, and Raghab Bista, and team members from Project
Research and Engineering Associates (PRENA) for their continuous dedication and technical
input to prepare this document.

Last but not least, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the all engineers and staff
of the Transport Infrastructure Directorateand Ministry of Physical Infrastructure
Development, Bagamati Province for providing valuable contribution to produce this report.
Any pioneering and constructive suggestions regarding the document will be highly
appreciated.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

Transport infrastructure is a key driver of the national, provincial, and local economy of the
country through developing connectivity between province to province, cities to cities and
rural to cities and through a physical network of goods, services, capital, and labor. The
objective of the 15th Plan (Fiscal Year 2019/20 – 2023/24) of Nepal is to develop transport
service competitive, accessible, reliable, safe, inclusive, disciplined, and to facilitate
movement and transportation to achieve the goal of modern, accessible, reliable,
environment-friendly, and infrastructure-friendly transport services under the long term
vision and goal, “prosperous Nepal, happy Nepali”. In the last three consecutive budgetary
policy, about 70 % of the total capital budget has been allocated toinfrastructure development
at the national, provincial, and local level for developing transport infrastructure for broader
and long development perspective and macro and micro perspective for cost-effective and
fast delivered international and national trade, fast flow of goods and services between
production and market and quality national and international tourism for achieving higher
economic growth.

As a major economic driver, transport infrastructure development is highly prioritized in

three layers of government from the federal government to the provincial government to the
local government for inclusive and bottom-up rapid development with its significant
contribution to GDP, sector development, and household economy. In this context, out of
Seven Provinces of the country, constitutionally endorsed in the new constitution of Nepal,
2015, Bagamati Province has given top priority on transport infrastructure development for
better connectivity and better provincial economy for contributing national vision and
mission, prosperous Nepal, happy Nepali. In the development policy perspectives, its
reflection can be found with the following justifications; Firstly, the Bagamati Province is
located in the central region of country and the capital of country, Kathmandu lies in this
province.The poor and weak connectivity between Kathmandu and Hetauda is a major barrier
to themovement of goods, services, investment, technology, and human resources for goods,
service, capital, technology, and labor market for diverging development.Its result is poverty
and inequality issue, despite higher rank in HDI. In addition, this province is naturally rich
inhigh Himalayas (Gaurishankar, Langtang, Jugal, and Ganesh Himal), biodiversity, and
natural resources (water, forest, and land). Its reflection is undervalue and volume in
production, trade, and market. Lower production and productivity are major issues.
Furthermore, the existing transport infrastructure at national highway and provincial road
transport carries a probability of accident risk and collateral damages in the absence of traffic
systems, although these roads are operational 24 hours.

Over three years, the Bagamati Province has been enabling to develop the foundation of the
Province level structure, function, and system as per priority for developing governance
system, economic plan and development and law and order for the people of the Province. At

1
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

the Province level, all the development activities are equally focused by Province
Government. Out of it, transport infrastructure development is the most demanding and most
prioritized. The numerous provincial levels and local level road transport infrastructure are
operating the transport services and improving the connectivity in the districts, metropolitan
cities, municipalities, and rural municipalities.Therefore, the ProvincialTransport Master Plan
(PTMP) is valid and highly relevant for technically and economically justified sustainable
transport infrastructure development of the province for overall province development and
national development.

having no intersection at a grade, limited points of access or exit, and a divider between lanes
for traffic moving in opposite directions.

Province Highway

Province Highway is the road that connects to National Highway with province headquarters
or district headquarters, or, that Connects province headquarter with district headquarters, or,
connects district headquarter with district headquarter within the same province, or, National
highway with national highway.

Province Road

Province Road means the road connecting the local center from the National Highway or the
road connecting the local level center from the Province Highway or the road connecting the
local level center from the province headquarters or the road connecting the district level
from the district headquarters or the road connecting two or more local level centers; or
national highway or province highways connecting important economic and market centers,
religious, historical, tourist, industrial and other important places.

Province Urban Road

Urban Road" means urban ring road, road connecting important places within the city,
flyover, elevated road, subway, sky (overhead) bridge or bypass (bypass).

Province Other Transportation

The road code is designed as follows:

Provincial Highway Road Code

Provincial Highway Road Code Province Highway Highway Number

BagamatiProvince =B H 01

Provincial Road Code

Provincial Road Code Province Road Road Number

Bagamati Province =B R 01

2.2.8. Provincial Road Network (PRN) Ranking

The PRN Ranking table was developed with appropriate criteria, weightage and score. In the
table, Provincial Highway and Province Road were planned to be included in accordance
with its score out of 100. Its relevanceserves to determine the priority of the different
provincial highway and road sections and, allowing them to be ranked in the order for budget
allocation and priority. In general, high ranked highway and road sections receive budget
allocation and priority higher and faster than low ranked highway and road sections.

2.2.9. PTMP Funding and Budget

For the PTMP Funding and budget, Provincial and National Budget Allocation and Procedure
on PRN ranking Provincial Highway and Provincial road were studied by identifying sources
of funding and budget including the federal equalization grant, conditional grant,
complementary grant, and special grant, the grants from Roads Board Nepal, the provincial
revenue, and allocations from donor projects (for the donor projects the name of the project
should be entered in the second column). In the preparation, there are also several rows open
where additional funding sources can be included. The names of the funding sources should
be entered in the second column, while the expected amounts of funding should be entered in
the remaining columns (in Nepali Rupees – NPR).

The expected funding and budget sources and amounts were calculated for the development
of the roads and expected annual growth percentages, taking into account any specific
changes that are expected (e.g. the start or end of a donor project).

3.3.MAIN ECONOMIC AND COMMERCE ACTIVITIES AND CENTERS

Agriculture
Like as National Economy, the economy of Bagamati Province is garaging with 40 % share,
although this Province is a well-developed in industry, trade and service. In accordance with
Agricultural Statistics 2019, agriculture is main economic activity of this Province. In
agriculture, food crops including vegetables and cereal crops dominate. Its production hubs
are Makwanpur, Dhading, Chitwan, Kavre, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and Sindhupalachok districts.
Despite such production, demand of agriculture products in Kathmandu valley is still a huge
deficit. Therefore, agriculture products access big cities markets of this Province because of
well-developed connectivity.

Industrial Development
Industrial development is an essential driver of output, income, employment and backward
linkage with raw materials supply and production areas. In 1960s, the development of
industrial estate received top priority for private sector and industrial development and
investment promotion. In Bagamati Province, there are three Industrial Estates located in
Kathmandu, Hetauda and Lalitpur. As per national and provincial demand, these industrial
estates produce agriculture and non-agriculture based industries for import substitution and
export promotion. In case of import substitution products, their market concentration is

17
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

mostly in Kathmandu Valley. In case of handicrafts products, its market is international. Its
contribution to the Provincial economy is approximately 40 %. Its major reason is a good
connectivity between market and industry and between industry and raw materials hubs.
Therefore, this Province can be categorized into Industrial Hub.

Export and Import

Like as national economy, trade is a major activity of the Province not for export promotion
but for import for maintaining excessive growth of consumer products demand in 45 major
and minor cities. Its pattern and trend is similar like as National level. It means import
dominated trade led a huge trade deficit with 1418.53 billion Rs import and 97.10 billion Rs
export trade (TPC, 2075). Its export-import ratio is 1:14. Despite a prospect of self-reliant
economy of this Province, the import trade from the outside of the Province and the import
from China and India has killed all prospects in the absence of productivity and production,
except higher rate of land transformation into settlements. In the import trade, the volume of
essential and luxurious consumptions dominates to the volume of raw materials. May be a
good reason is weak and poor supply chain of domestic products within the country.

Commercial Hub
Kathmandu is the Kingdom of Nepal located in Bagamati Province. Socio economically and
commercially, this capital is of 10 million population’s market of consumer and development
products. In addition, there are three metropolitan cities, 1 sub metropolitan city and 41
municipalities expanding urbanization and market. Therefore, there is commercial hub of
different products. Besides it, there are the following potentials.

Kathmandu Valley
The Kathmandu Valley is the capital of Nepal having 10 million populations with higher
density and well developed urban center. It is politically and administratively power center
accelerating economic and commercial activities. In addition, it is a hub of tourism,
education, health, industry, investment and service generating employment, income and
output. Prithivi Highway, Tribhuvan Highway, Arniko Highway and PasangLamu Highway
are major driver of supply chain of goods, services and labor.

Chitwan
Chitwan is a commercial and trading center of this province as the main gateway to the
Kathmandu Valley. Because of its center location and fast urbanization process. In addition,
it is a production of green vegetables, livestock and cereal crops. It is a quiet popular for
chicken and egg pocket areas. Furthermore, Chitwan National Park and the road connectivity
is linked with Mahindra Highway (east-west) and the Kathmandu are major attraction.

18
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

Hetauda
Hetauda is the capital of this Province emerging big city center and commercial and industrial
hub. The linkage with the Mahindra Highway (east-west) and the and nearest connectivity
with Birgunj (Indian Border) is akey driver besides its Provincial Capital status. In addition,
Hetauda Industrial Estate is a supplementary.

Dolakha
Dolakha is an ancient trading hub of the eastern part of this province located in the trading
route between Tibet and Kathmandu. Higher and fast movement of goods and services has
promoted trading activities inthe catchment area of the eastern part of the Dolakha,
Ramechhap and Okhaldhunga. Arniko Highway and Khadichour Jiri Road are key drivers.

Bidur
Bidur is an emerging commercial center of this province because of a trading route to Tibet
Autonomous Region of China through the Kerung Pass. Trade flow and movements of goods
and services from China has value added to its urbanization and trade. The Galchi-Bidur-
Syphrubesi-RasuwagadhiRoad is a major driver.

Dhadingbeshi
Dhadingbeshi is city center having fast urbanization rate economically and commercially.
Prithvi Highway’s better connectivity has promoted commercialization of agriculture and
livestock products by developing supply chain from production pocket areas to Kathmandu
and Terai Cities.

Manthali
Manthali is a growing commercial center of the province located in the Ramechhap district.
Agriculture and livestock production per annum has higher growth rate in the village. The
good and fast connectivity of B.P. Highway may promote trade and market development.

Sindhulimadi

Madan Bhandari Rajmargaprovide a good and fast connectivity to local, provincial and
national market and international market. Its positive outcomes may be on production and
productivity of agricultural products, livestock products and small and cottage industrial
products.

This standard provide guidance for the selection of geometric design parameters for preparing
detailed project report and covers various aspects of design, construction and maintenance.

This road standard is to classify the operational roads for presenting road standard scenario
for the Provincial Transport Policy and Program and the Provincial Budget and Periodic
Planning. In these standard provisions, this classifies road into five administrative categories
and four functional categories with technical standards of roads and design parameters.

4.2. ROAD NETWORK OF PROVINCE

Road network is categorically and un-categorically widely spread all over this Province.
Previously, roads in Nepal were categorized as: Strategic Road Networks/SRN (Highway and
Feeder Road) andLocal Road Networks/LRN (District Roads Core Network and Village).The
Department of Road (DOR) looked after SRN and the District Development Committees
(DDCs) with technical support from the District Technical Offices (DTOs) were responsible
for LRNs.

After the promulgation of the “Constitution of Nepal 2073”, all the three Government Levels
have been giving the jurisdiction to roads. The roads have been now classified ass

Federal Highway under Federal Government

Province Roads under Provincial Government

Local Roads under Local Government

4.3. AIR TRANSPORT

This Province is rich for four Airports: Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu,
and three domestic airports: Ramechap Airport, Bharatpur AirportandJiri Airport. Out of
three domestic airports, Ramechap and Bharatpur Airports are operational but Jiri Airport is
not operational. Thus, air linkage and network have been serving alternative fast connectivity
to domestic and international tourist and Nepalese people.

Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA)

Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) is an international airport constructed in 1955 in
Kathmandu. In the federal structure, it lies in this Province. Its structure comprises of two
channels: International and National Airports. In the international level, this airport connects
40 destinations of 17 countries. In 2019, there is about 7.3 million international passenger
departures in this airport. Nepal Airlines covers 49% share. At domestic level, there are five
private airlines (Buddha Airlines, Nepal Airlines, Himalayan Airlines, Yeti Airlines and
Sourya Airlines) providing connectivity and air services to domestic and international tourists
in different time and different locations of this country. Buddha Airlines shares 46% market.
In case of cargo, this airport handles 10570 tons in 2019. Its details are below.

4.4. RAILWAY

Railway is new approach in multimodal transport system. Its initiation is Kathmandu Metro
Railway Project, Feasibility Study of Metro Rail in 2012 by Ministry of Physical Planning,
Works and Transport Management. As endorsement of alternative mass transport, two
modules: heavy metro rail and light metro rail are surveyedat 21 locations in Kathmandu
Valley. The study identifies Automated Guided Transit (AGT) as the most appropriate
technology (rubber-tyred train sets running on elevated or underground guide ways). The
study identifies 5 Lines to meet the expected demand in 2030 and their initial analysis
assumed that all lines were built at the same time.

33
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

Figure 4: Proposed Railway Lines in Kathmandu Valley

This feasibility study focuses on five metro lines in Kathmandu Valley with the projection of
1.02 million riders per day and 20.4 million revenue in 2019 if it is constructed in 2015. This
projection is based on a fare of NRP 20 per trip (2012 prices). If fare is increased at NRP 30
per trip, its projection is 0.6 million riders per day and 19.1 million Rs revenue. In the
projection, the maximum potential revenue income will be earned with 6% increments. In its
initial procedure of the construction, Railway Department has called RFP document to DPR
of Maharjgunj to Satdobato railway, Satdobato to Khokana and Maharajgunj to
Budhanilkanta under way and Nagdhunga to Dhulikhel railway.

Similarly, the Department of Railway has conducted the feasibility study of Kathmandu –
Rashuwagadi and Kathmandu–Raxual, along with East West Railway (945 km) and
Kathmandu -Pokhara-Lumbini railway. Bagamati Province is a major stakeholder of these
three railway projects.

4.5. ROPEWAY

Ropeway is a feasible alternative transport mode in hill and mountain regions, where road
connectivity is tough and its maintenance is costlier. In this Province, Kathmandu-Hetauda
Cargo rope way (42km) is old one constructed in 1964. After then, there are three ropeways

34
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

in operations: Kurintar–Manakamana, Thankot–Chandragiri and Kalinchowk temple. In

addition, few rope ways are under study in this Province. Its details is in figure 5.

Figure 5: Ropeway in Nepal

4.6. FREIGHT TRANSPORT

Freight Transport is a transporting commodities, goods and cargo by land from India and
China. This transport is quiet popular in Nepal from Calcutta Port to Dry Port (Brijung).
About 60% container comes from India and the remaining container comes from China in
Rashuwagadhi dry port.

4.7. OTHER INFRASTRUCTURES

Fast Track (Kathmandu- Nijhgadha)

Fast track is 76.2 km express highway from Sano Khokana, Kathmandu to Nijhagadha, Bara
district. This mega project is national pride project of around Rs 13.5 Billion. This road is six
lane. The feasibility study projects 5 hours’ time saving, 155 km distance shorter, less value
addition of transportation and promotes trade volume, value and size of goods and services.
This connectivity changes Kathmandu and Birgunj’s connectivity and its economic
implications. It facilitates to the second international airport.

Nagdhunga Tunnelway
The Naghdunga Tunnel (SisneKhola to Nagh-dunga) is the first tunnel project in road sector.
Its length is 2.5 km. Its objective is to improve the road condition around Nagdhunga pass by
constructing a tunnel, thereby contributing to the smooth transportation network
betweenKathmandu and other principal cities/areas in Nepal.The Japanese International Co-

35
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

operation Agency (JICA) has providedfianical and technical assistance to construct this
project.

Additionally, the pipelined tunnel projects are Lambagar-Lapcha Tunnel, Tokha–

Gurjebhangyag Road and Siddha Baba section of Palpa road. Bagamati Province has been
undertaking the Tunnel at Sisneri-Bhimphedi Tunnel.

Waterway
Nepal has 6000 river rivulets out of which big rivers are feasible for water transports. In
Naryaani River, it is experimental.

Cycle lane
Cycle lane is well demand in urban areas, particularly Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur.
Two cycle lanes are constructed and operated in Sinamangal to Tilganga section and Tinkune
to Maitighar.

4.8. URBAN TRASPORT

Urban Transport is a vehicle of rapid urbanization to develop new mega city with commercial
hubs. In the budget 2018-19 and 2019-20, budget is allocated on the construction of five
smart city projects in the periphery of Kathmandu valley. In 1970s, urban development
corporation was established with objective of urbanization and urban transport. In 1993, the
government of Nepal conducted the Study on Kathmandu Valley Urban Road Development.
In 2017, the Federal Democratic Republic Government has conducted the review study on the
project on Urban Transport Improvement for Kathmandu Valley. Their objective is to
execute a comprehensive urban transport master plan in Kathmandu Valley.

In Urban Transport Master Plan, there are three components, namely, Land Use Plan, Road
Plan and Public Transport Plan. In the Public Transport Plan, 0.1 million persons per day
demands daily public transport in Kathmandu Valley. In accordance with population growth
per annum, demand of public transport per day may be more. In Population Census 2011,
population size is 2.47 million population. Based on it, the study projects 3.74 million
population by 2030 and 10,000 to 15,000 PHPDT capacity of public transport as of 2035. The
plan recommends tow modes of public transports: namely, Automated Guide way Transit
(AGT) in the urban area and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, where dedicated bus lanes is
sufficient.

The Public Transport Plan carries three phases – PhaseI (~2020), Phase II (2021-2025) and
Phase III (2026~2030). In the Phase I, the plan focuses on institutional improvement and
development of a new bus terminal at Tinkune, along with the rerouting of the existing bus
system along primary, secondary and the tertiary routes. In the Phase II, the plan initiates a
new BRT system in the existing ring road and inner ring road, and new bus terminals at
Sundhara and Satdobato. In the Phase III, the plan recommends new AGT systemin the
North-South (Narayangopal Chowk – Satdobato) and East-West (Kalanki- Airport) routes. In
addition, there is a plan of expansion of the East- West route by 2030, strengthening the BRT

36
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

systemby establishing new bus terminals at Narayan Gopal Chowk in the North and Naikap
in the West of the existing Ring Road. Their detail is in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Kathmandu Road System

In Kathmandu, the JICA Urban Transport Master plan envisages the completion of an Inner
Ring Road (IRR), mostly along ‘river corridors’, and the creation of new development areas
to the south and east of the existing urban area, linked by sections of the proposed Outer Ring
Road (ORR). The plan proposes the introduction of the initial phases of a mass transit system
within the existing Ring Road by 2030, but for only two lines – roughly equivalent to Lines 1
and 2 of the Korean study. The Master plan also recommends that these lines use AGT
(Automated Guideway Transit) technology. It claims that this would provide adequate
capacity at an acceptable cost.

This plan is based on the Data Collection Survey on Traffic Improvement (2012) and
Detailed Planning Survey (2013-2015) both undertaken by JICA for Kathmandu Valley
Development Authority (KVDA) & the Department of Roads (DoR).

The JICA Master Plan recommends BRT as a best cost effective option for the other routes in
comparison with LRT per km. in the condition of a significant dedicated ground-level right-
of-way (RoW) and an adequate road width. Hence the Master Plan limits the introduction of
BRT to the existing Ring road and possibly the Arniko Highway from Maitighar to
Koteshwor and thence Bhaktapur whereas an elevated AGT can be constructed above major
roads with a RoW of at least 15m, and is sufficiently flexible to accommodate the required
gradients and horizontal radii. The details of the Public Transport Plan is give in figure 7.

Figure 7: Public Transport Plan

Kathmandu Sustainable Urban Transport Project (KSUTP)

Kathmandu Sustainable Urban Transport Project (KSUTP) aims to improve the overall
transport system and reducing congestion and pollution in Kathmandu Valley by developing
a series of traffic and transport improvement programs. In public transport, the project aims
to upgrade public transport (management, facilities, and operations), improve traffic
management and make the city centre more pedestrian-friendly through improved sidewalks
and pedestrian within the historic core. Specifically, the project proposes the rationalization
and reorganization of the existing bus services, with larger buses operating on longer cross-
town trunk routes, medium sized buses operating on secondary routes and smaller vehicles
operating feeder routes within the more densely developed residential and commercial areas.
The network of primary routes operating cross-town services is illustrated in Figure 8. It can
be seen that the proposed JICA AGT routes closely follow the main corridors as identified by
the KSUTP.

Urban population growth in Nepal is one of fastest growth in world. Bagamati province is the
fastest urban growth area in Nepal, especially in Kathmandu valley, Bharatpur and Hetauda
along with other urban growth centres in the province.

Bagamati Province covers the important urban centres of the country – the capital city
Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Lalitpur metropolitan city, Bharatpur metropolitan city,
Hetauda Sub-metropolitan city and many other municipalities. Many cities and urban centres
are emerging in the province. City mobility behaviour is to be dealt separately in terms of
transport policy, plan and management viewpoints. Sustainability issues have to be
considered in the mobility. Sidewalks for pedestrians, pedestrianzation of streets for the
vibrant urban society are now the growing trend elsewhere in the world. Cycling is very
important mode for urban mobility. Non-motorized transport modes are receiving the priority
in urban mobility all over the world as in sustainable transportation mode.

Large and densely populated Kathmandu Valley with the range of five million human
habitants is in big demand to develop the efficient public city mobility mechanism metro
train, bus rapid transit system etc.

Therefore Bagamati province has to develop and adopt urban mobility policy, plan and
management. A separate integrated urban mobility implementation plan has to be prepared to
address the city transportation in its ever growing urban population of the province.

4.9. ROAD SAFETY

Road safety is a measure used to prevent road accidents. As an essential measure, this is a
well practice in the World. Still, road accidents happen. In 2018, road traffic death was 1.35
million and countless morbidity cases (Global Road Safety Report, 2018). In the report, low
and middle income countries share about 90% in total road traffic deaths. By age, there are
children’s and young people (5-29 years). About 50% death relates to motorist, cyclist and
pedestrian, thus called vulnerable road users

As global commitment on road safety, the government of Nepal plans to reduce road fatalities
by 50% by implementing Nepal Road Safety Action Plan (NRSAP) (2013-2020) and also
SDG goal 3.6 and 11.2. Instead of decreasing road fatalities, its growth statistics in 2075/76
shows more than 10000 crashes. About 5000 peoples have lost their lives. About 40 % people
are less than 26 years age groups.

Similarly, statistics of crashes are significant with low fatality rate in Bagamati Province. In
2075, vehicles crashes are 15190 only in Kathmandu valley and 1097 in the remaining
districts of the Province. Thus, its total is 16287 (74% of total crashes of Nepal (22087)). No
of fatalities is 731 (26% of total national fatalities (2789)). By sex and age, there is 76%
male, 17% female and 6.4% children. Similarly, major injure cases are 1,079 and minor
injury cases are 6832. Behind the crashes, there are 84% driver negligence, 9% high speed,
4% drunk driving and 3% other reasons.

4.10 Road Asset Management and Maintenance

Road Asset Management (RAM) is a major neglected issue in Nepal in the absence of
systematic maintenance system and in the absence of road ownership, operation and
management, although the government invests a huge to road construction and road asset.
The result of the poor maintenance system is deteriorating road asset and shortening its life.
Then after, road rehabilitation may be an alternative. The new constitution 2015 gives
mandatory authority and responsibility to the Province Government to establish maintenance
management in terms of institutional/organizational provision, financial resource, and
managerial provisions. Therefore, the Province Government has prepared Annual Road
Maintenance Plan (ARMP) and included maintenance cost for budget planning. Coordination
with Roads Board Nepal for maintenance fund and to synchronize the maintenance activities
and budget. Maintenance works is also open bid to the contractor to maintain quality and
performance.

4.11 Organizations Structure

Bagamati Province has set up the organizational portfolio for the development of the
infrastructure. The Provincial organizational structure is outlined with the Ministry of
Physical Infrastructure Development (MoPID). Under, MoPID, the Transport Infrastructure
Directorate (TID) is functioned. Under the TID, there are two Provincial Road Division
Ofiices located in Sindhuliand Nuwakot district. Infrastructure Development Offices are

40
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

located in Ramechhap, Sindhupalchowk, Kavrepalanchwok, Lalitpur, Chitwan and Nuwakot

district. The organization and its manpower are responsible for planning of infrastructure
development projects, implementation of the project and monitoring and evaluation of the
project.

CHAPTER 5: PROVINCIAL
TRANSPORTPERSPECTIVE PLAN

5.1.BACKGROUND

Provincial Transport Perspective Plan (PTPP) of Bagamati Province is a long term

perspective plan for next 20 years. In this PTPP, there are two roads: Provincial Highway
(PR) and Provincial Roads (PR). The plan focuses on black topped roads to improve the
accessibility in all the palikas and improve the connectivity with Provincial Headquarter,
District Headquarter and Palika Centers.

5.2.PTPP PRINCIPLES

Bagamati Province is a main province of Nepal, where the capital of the country is located.
This Province is commercial, industrial and agriculture hub having access of SRN and DRCN
roads to road linkage in the settlement level to urban center as well as province capital. The
approach and principles of preparation of the PTPP are as follows;

5.2.1. Improvement of Connectivity

Connectivity is first approach and principle of PTPP. Under this approach, SRN road
connectivity between the Province Capital and Province District headquarters, DRCN road
connectivity between urban roads and SRN and road connectivity between DRCN and village
roads are criteria for road improvement plan with the high archery of the roads with their
standard, norms and capacity of traffic flow for effective and efficient transport system.

5.2.2. Improvement of Accessibility

In PTPP, accessibility is also one of the principle to select provincial road. Its process is
assessment of the operational transport services and transport accessibility to and from the
settlement in one hand and the travel time taken to reach the market center, service center and
delivery of agriculture products. Based on transport services and travel time, PTPP finds
alternative connectivity for easy accessibility, cost effective and shortest time for connectivity
between the Province Capital and District headquarters.

5.2.3. Quality Standard of Road

In PTPP, quality standard of road is also one of the principle to improve quality standard of
the operational roads in the Province. For this objective, the operational roads are
categorically divided into Black Topped, Graveled and Earthen Roads. In accordance with
RoW and the standard specification, the quality standard of above categorical roads is
assessed. The standard specification for strategic roads are comparatively higher than
standard specification for DRCN and other local roads. It is challenge for the maintaining the
standard specification of DRCN and local roads. PTPP has considered the quality standard of
the provincial roads. The specification shall be considered of the National Standard of SRN
and Local roads.

5.2.4. Integrated Transport System

The approach of PTPP is an integrated approach of the transport system including road
transport, air transport, rail transport, tunnel, fast track etc for perspective development of
their connectivity. The transport system should be developed as an integration of all mode,
methods and model of the transport to provide the easy, fast, economy, efficient
transportation system. The integrity and effectiveness of transport service to the people is the
motto of the transport plan.

5.2.5. Economy of Transport Service

Economy of transport service is also one of the principle of PTPP. In PTPP, this approach
aims to find out best cost effective transport service so that the value added of transport
service on production and distribution will be least for their minimum production cost and
maximum competitive capacity in market. Thus, producer and consumer surplus will be
higher. Its result may be significant contribution to local, provincial and national GDP, along
with private investment prospects on different transport sector: air plane, ship, train, buses,
trucks and other vehicles. Therefore, the economy of transport services is considered in the
preparation of PTPP.

5.2.6. Sustainable Transport Infrastructure

Sustainable Transport Infrastructure development is the approach of PTPP on order
tomaintain sustainability of transport system in the province. As a sector plan of transport,
PTPP is a plan to maintain sustainable transport infrastructure. In PTPP, the SDG indicators
are considered as target of the plan. The SDG road density in the targeted year is as follows;

2015 2019 2022 2025 2030

0.55 1.3 1.35 1.41 1.3
Source: SDGs, Status and Road Map 2016-2030, NPC, 2017.

5.2.7. Transport policy and Strategy

Transport policy and strategy is well preferred by the Province Government to develop
transport and connectivity of major cities, metropolitan, municipalities, and rural
municipalities. The policy aims to upgrade the road condition and linkages and transport
services for better connectivity and easy accessibility. In PTPP, transport policy and strategy
are considered for priority areas of the Province.

5.2.8. Road Safety

Road safety is approach of PTPP. In this approach, PTPP aims to reduce road accidents
induced death and causalities of the people. The road planner has to consider the road safety
aspect for the minimization of road accident. PTPP has considered the road safety measures
on the Provincial Roads.

5.3.PERSPECTIVE PLAN OF PTPP

5.3.1. Upgrading of Roads

The perspective plan of PTPP envisages planning of the roads identified and selected from
the list of inventory. The existing conditions of the roads like; graveled and earthen roads will
be upgraded into the black topped in the future. The perspective plan is outlined for 20-25
years long period.

The perspective plan of the roads carries a long term vision for roaddevelopment in the
Bagamati Province. The cost is calculated for upgrading roads based on the rates of the
province (average district rate).

5.3.2. Identification and Preparation of Perspective Plan of Provincial Roads

The Perspective Plan of Provincial Roads is prepared on the PTMP planning. The
identification of roads for perspective planning is based on the Bagamati Provincial Road
Standard, Draft Act on Province Public Road and Transport Infrastructure.

In this Bagamati Province, the total number of identified Provincial Highways are 18 and the
the total length is 1516.20 Km. Out of it, 176.54 Km is Blacktopped road, 198.04 is Graveled
and 1142.62 Km is Earthen.

The total numbers of identified Provincial Roads are 155 and the total length of road is
4067.30 Km. Out of it, 601.10 Km road is Blacktopped road, 420.40 Km road is Graveled
and 3045.80 Km road is Earthen.

Similarly, the total number of identified Provincial Urban and Rural Roads are 72 and its total
length is 1427.19 Km. Out of it, 219.69 Km road is Blacktopped road, 128.90 Km road is
Graveled and 1078.60 Km road is Earthen.

The list of identified Provincial Highways, Provincial Roads and Provincial Urban and Rural
Roads along with its perspective plan is given below in Table 20, 21 and 22 respectively.

The perspective plan is prepared under the basis of first periodic plan (Fiscal Year 2076/77-
2080/81) of Bagamati Province. The plan is based on the assumption that all the roads within
the province will be blacktopped.

75
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

Article 10: Formation of Committees, Role, Responsibility and Authority

Article 11: Management for Penalty of Traffic Violation
Article 12: Operation of Province Public transport.
Article 13: Miscellaneous

All articles are related to Province Transport Management for operation and regulation of
transport related activities in the province. Article 12 clauses 200 have mandated the Province
government to operate public transport by establishing a company on PPP model.

Following are the sub-clause under Operation of Province Public Transport;

[1] Realizing the responsibility of public transport sector, government can operate to
provide the service to the people for smooth, affordable, and well-facilitated public
transport service.
[2] For the service committed in the sub-clause 1 and according the demand, Province

amalgamating the provisions mentioned in existing Act and the principles of transport
management framework. This will fulfill the legislative commitment made in the article 12
(Operation of Province Public transport) of the Bagamati Province Vehicle and Transport
Management Act 2075.

5.5.PROVINCIAL ROAD SAFETY ACTION PLAN (PRSAP)

Since road safety is one of the most important component of transportation

infrastructure,PRSAP consider this road safety aspect in design stage, road safety audit
approach and budget allocation, although the implementation of Road Safety Audit, i.e.
proposed road safety features, including safety barrier, signs, marking, reflector, cat’s eye,
delineator post, safety mirror, traffic calming measures and budget limitationare big
challenge. In this context, PRSAP will be prepared for 2021-2030to prepare its own action
plan targeting province with compliance with National Action Plan and also global

76
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

commitment as per Sustainable Development Goal and Stockholm Convention, like as

National Road Safety Action Plan 2013-20. In PRSAP, national commitment of Nepal
toreduce road fatalities by 50% by 2030 will be made a goal of the Province Government.
The provincial action plan is as follows:

Goal:
• 50% reduction in road deaths by 2030 and 25% reduction on road crashes on Bagamati
Province.
Strategies:
• Create Empowering Legal Framework including strong Provincial Road Safety Council
with clear defined responsibilities between National Road Safety Council and Provincial
Road Safety Council
• Take road safety into consideration from the conceptualization stage to the design stage
and ongoing even in operation stage.
• Proper Road Safety Database System.
• Adaptation of Speed Management and Traffic Calming techniques
• Ensuring vehicle safety through strict enforcement of road worthiness or vehicle testing
mechanism.
• Promote PPP as the financing model for road safety related infrastructure and services
• Capacity building of the stakeholder working in the field of road safety.
• Timely emergency care with proper provision of rescue operation; first aid services and
trauma care facilities.

5.6.PROVINCIAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT MASTER PLAN (PPTMP)

Interdistrict public transport system is a major dimension in the preparation of transportation

master plan for improving accessibility and connectivity. In the public transport system,
public bus departs from the capital of Nepal to all districts of Bagamati Province, although
Hetauda is the capital of Bagamati Province.
In simple, the capital of Bagamati Province has not direct connectivity to all districts through
public transport. Based on such connectivity, Kathmandu is the central point of Bagamati
Province. In addition, COVID 19 destroyed public transport system in 2020. The public could
not access goods and services and facility to their mobility. Its negative impact was estimated
at macro and micro level within this Province. In the abnormal situation, Bagamati Province
should learn lesson and to increase public investment on public transport to maintain
connectivity and accessibility.
The Bagamati Province has around 47% of total vehicle and the number of vehicle is
increasing rapidly in this province. In comparision to 2000 AD with 2019, the total number of
vehicle has increased upto 67% and with 17% per year. The increased in vehilces will help in

77
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

the increase in the market growth rate and development of city. But, the increase in the
vehicle also increases consumption of fuels that will have adverse impact on existing
condition of energy. In the fiscal year 075/76, Nepal has imported fuel of around 216.42
Billion Nepalese Rupees. The increase in the vehicle and fuel consumption has increased loss
in the Nepal economy, decereae in air quality and increase in the air polluted disease. To cope
with this problems, Bagamti Province Government has planned to develop cities within the
province by switching fossil fuel vehicle by electriacal vehicle. In this regrd, Bagamati
Province hass formulated Provincial Transport Operation and Management Board (PTOMB)
as per Province Good Governance Act 2077, article 5. The PTOMP will operate and manage
electrical vehicle within this province.
In recent years, there are emerging multimodal technology mass transport system and
approach. For a better connectivity between Kathmandu and Kavrepalanchowk, Mass Transit
System can be explored with DPR in the consultation with all stakeholder including
municipalities, Department of Roads, Department of Railways, Kathmandu Valley
Development Authority, Investment Board Nepal and recently established Provincial
Transport Operation and Management Board (PTOMB).
Additionally, alternative mass transit system needs to be explored atleast to develop fast and
better connectivity between Chitwan and Makwanpur. Thus study regarding Public
transportation master plan is highly recommended to the Province Government.

CHAPTER 6: PROVINCIAL TRANSPORT MASTER PLAN

6.1.PROVINCIAL TRANSPORT MASTER PLAN (PTMP)

Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) initiated by the Bagamati Province is to integrate
development of transport system and provide comfortable andcost effective transport
facilities to the people within the Province. PTMP is a vital to develop the public
transportation system, to enhance the standard of the transportation mechanism and to
improve the service delivery to the people. The transport system constitutes infrastructure
development of roads, railways, air transport, and water ways under transport modalities.

PTMP envisagesdeveloping the province transport system more effective, efficient and cost
benefit model appropriate with the capacity and proposition of the planning approach.

6.2.PRIORITIZATON OF ROADS

The roads mentioned in the perspective plan areas prioritize roads for setting up budget
allocation priority for upgrading of Provincial Highway (PH) and Provincial Road (PR). The
prioritization criteria according to PTMP Guidelines, 2019 and considered the population
served by the particular roads are made. Its criteria and weightage are given below.

Table 29: Prioritization criteria and weightage

S.N Prioritization Criteria Weightage (score)

1 Palika Center Connected 15
2 Population Served 30
3 Population unnerved 20
4 Traffic Category 20
5 Road Class 5
6 Provincial Priority 10
Total 100

Rank of priority road as per the prioritization criteria is based on the score of the each road.
The higher score get higher priority rank and accordingly the ranking order is given.

6.3.FINANCIAL OF PTMP

The implementation of PTMP requires sufficient financial resources to upgrading roads. The
perspective plan envisages its estimated total fund required for its implementation. Its
estimated total financial resources are 193.8 billion Rs. for upgrading and maintaining
6014.40 km long roads (PH & PR) of the Province for next five years.

79
 Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

In the annual budget, the Province Government should allocate budget on the prioritized
roads per annum for next five years to achieve sustainable transport system in the Province
for easy accessibility and better connectivity.

Existing and Projected Budget for PTMP

In the last year (2020), the province budget allocated 12 billion NRs on road development. As

CHAPTER 7: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 Conclusion

Transport System is an important driver for safe and easy accessibility and better connectivity in
the Province in the condition of indirect connectivity between the Province capital and district
headquarters and non inter district connectivity among 13 districts of the Province. Despite
multiple model transport system, this province depends massively on road transport connectivity
indirectly and unsafely. The operational road transport connectivity is not safe when data of
crash and death indicate because almost all Provincial Highway and Provincial Roads are not
black toppled, neither two lanes nor not traffic systems. In addition, there are not executed safety
measures and audit. This is an issue to be considered on road planning, construction and
maintenance of roads. In mega and major cities, traffic congestion is a big issue but still there are
no 100 % traffic systems, except manual traffic system and main road traffic system.
Furthermore, these cities havenot road lights in all roads, except few main roads. Similarly, road
asset management is a big issue because of poor quality standard road construction, poor
tracking system and road information. Time to time road asset maintenance is poor with budget
constraints. Therefore, this Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) is relevant. This is a good
output of this study.

This PTMP rank roads with priority for budget allocation and budget demand projection for next
five year. For this implementation of PTMP, the following recommendations are given below.

7.2 Recommendations

• PTMP should be executed properly within the mentioned time and budget allocation as
soon as possible.
• As a supplementary plan, transport management plan and public transport management
should be prepared after its detail and in-depth study.

• As a supplementary, Urban Mobility plan should be prepared to address the mobility

needs of city area in sustainable manner with adequate transport infrastructures in place
along with its appropriate operational modality. It should integrate public transportation
network with possible Non Motorized Transport Network.

• Preparation of Provincial Road Safety Action Plan and Provincial Public Transportation
Master Plan is highly recommended.

• Road Safety Audit is highly recommended to carry out at frequent interval at least on
Provincial Highway and Provincial Road.

89
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

• A comprehensive road maintenance management policy and plan has to be prepared.

Province has to establish and develop its capacity to maintain to upkeep the transport
infrastructure in intact and in good condition.

• A proper coordination mechanism is to be established with federal transport office and

local level transport offices of municipalities to operate all levels of transport operation
smoothly in the province.

GLOSSARY

Accessibility: Ability to reach opportunities/facilities that is beneficial and not the movement.

Base map: A map depicting background reference information such as landforms, roads,
landmarks, and political boundaries, onto which other thematic information is placed. A base
map is used for location reference and often includes a geodetic control network as part of its
structure.

Capacity: The maximum number of vehicles that can pass over a given section of a lane or
roadway in one direction (or in both directions for a two-lane or three-lane highway) during
conditions.

Emergency maintenance: Maintenance works that are to be carried out due to unexpected and
sudden blockage of roads that stop vehicular movement due to natural disaster

Land Use: Land use highlight on what purpose the land is being used

Local road: These roads provide direct property access in residential, industrial, commercial and
downtown areas. With local streets connecting primarily to collector roads, travel distances are
short, speeds are relatively low and volumes are modest, as their primary function of
accommodating traffic from adjacent lands.

Maintenance: The process of preserving the original condition or function of an asset

Mobility: Efficient and effective movement of people and goods

PTMP: The PTMP is a strategic planning document designed to identify and address the
provincial needs to the year 2025 and beyond. The PTMP is the document that identifies, classify
and prioritize the provincial roads; identify possible sources of funds and materials for the
construction of the prioritized roads according to their respective standards and scientific
mobilization of the available resource.

Network: Set of nodes and links that represent transportation facilities in an area.

Origin: The location of the beginning of a trip or the zone in which a trip begins.

Periodic maintenance: Maintenance works to be carried out in intervals of years and of large-
scale.

Public Transport: Shared passenger transport service which is available for use by the general
public

93
Provincial Transport Master Plan (PTMP) of Bagamati Province

Recurrent maintenance: Small maintenance works not falling under routine maintenance that
are carried out a few times a year in all roads to repair minor damage resulting from traffic and
rainfall

Right of Way: A general term denoting land, property of interest therein, usually in a strip,
acquired for or devoted to transportation purposes

Routine maintenance: Small maintenance works that are to be carried out in all the seasons on
all roads on a regular basis

Specific maintenance: Spot treatments and repairs that do not occur every year or in every road,
and which are very specific in nature and location.

Traffic Volume: Number of vehicle passed through the considered section per unit time

Upgrading: The process of addition or change that makes something better than it was before
