In response to the Nepalese Government’s commitment to improving road infrastructure in remote regions, the Ministry of Physical Planning and Works and the Department of Roads have undertaken numerous road projects throughout the country. The Road Sector Development Project (RSDP) holds a special place among these initiatives, as it aims to develop an extensive road network and crucial connections that foster social development and poverty reduction in Nepal’s hilly districts. Among the remarkable projects under RSDP, the Khodpe-Chainpur Road upgrade takes center stage, and Jay Mangalam Cements is proud to contribute to its success.

Khodpe-Jhota-Chainpur Road: A Key Feeder Road

The Khodpe-Jhota-Chainpur Road, classified as a feeder road (F49), spans from Khodpe Bazar in Baitadi district to Chainpur, the headquarters of Bajhang district. It forms a critical part of the principal access route Dhangadi-Dadeldhura, connecting Baitadi and Bajhang. Stretching 107 kilometers, this road project covers 60.3 kilometers from Khodpe to Baghthala. Located in the Baitadi and Bajhang districts of the Far Western Development Region, the Khodpe-Jhota-Chainpur Road links several vital villages and communities, including Siddeshwar, Shikharpur, Shankarapur, Chaukhuam, Bhumirraj VDCs in Baitadi, and Syadi, Deulek, Sunkuda VDCs in Bajhang.

Challenges and Transformation:

Previously, the existing road grappled with rugged terrain, sharp curves, and an unpaved earthen surface with an average height of 4.5 meters. Drainage arrangements were inadequate, resulting in poor road conditions, especially during the rainy season. Unstable hillsides further complicated matters, causing frequent landslides that disrupted traffic flow for extended periods.

However, with the upgrade to a sealed gravel standard, the Khodpe-Chainpur Road now provides all-weather transportation facilities across a broader region in Baitadi and Bajhang districts. The project involved comprehensive activities such as road rehabilitation, widening, and upgrading to a bituminous or sealed gravel/otta seal level. Previously limited transportation services have been greatly enhanced, granting improved access to Siddeshwar, Shikharpur, Shankarapur, Chaukhuam, Bhumirraj VDCs in Baitadi, and Syadi, Deulekh, Sunkuda VDCs in Bajhang.
