Bhutan: Road Network Project II

This technical assistance aims to help improve road network efficiency in the southern east–west corridor and subregional connectivity. It contributes to expanded economic development and regionally balanced development, leading to poverty reduction. These goals will be achieved by connecting Manitar (Chhukha District) to Kerabari (Dagana District) and Samdrupcholing to Diafam (Sjonhar District), and constructing Tsebar-Mikuri-Shingchungri (Pemagatshel District) and Nimtola to Lhamoizingkha (Sarpang District) feeder roads.
