Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

The 114 km Araniko highway, which runs from Kathmandu to Tatopani in Sindhupalchok district, was damaged in five different places by an earthquake that took place on April 25, 2015. The Chinese Government subsequently committed grant funding equivalent to 760 million Nepali rupees for Phase 1 of the Araniko Highway Long-Term Maintenance Project. China Railway 14th Construction Bureau started construction on August 8, 2016, and handed over the highway after repairing it on March 3, 2017.

Staff comments

1. This project is sometimes referred to as the Arniko Highway Long-term Opening Maintenance Project. The Chinese project title is 尼泊尔阿尼哥公路保通项. 2. The 104 kilometers long Araniko Highway was opened to traffic in May 1967. It is the first China Aid project in Nepal which carries the friendship between China and Nepal over the past half century. 3. This was one of the 25 projects promised by China after the 2015 Nepal earthquake to help with reconstruction. For details of the umbrella project, see Record ID#43970.
