It was defined as pre planning stage from 1.4.2018 to 31.3.2019. It was 2 lanes road with 7.31m at that time. Due to heavy traffic and economic development year by year, the existing road is not sufficient for existing traffic. MOC has instructed the company to upgrade the road from existing 2 lanes to 4 lanes. The construction has been started in July 2016 and completed on December 2020.

The major problem which impacts time and quality performance were as Negotiation on land compensation, License and permission, Obstacle on right of way, Heavy traffic on peak days , Traffic jam, Hard to delivery building material by reason of accidents ensue on the road, Land slide, Unskill labor/ operator, Material size failed to meet design specification, Failure to follow as per construction sequence, Dumping or disposal failed to well arrange. The main causation of problem is not proper project planning in planning stage by BOT company.
