The
proposed 800-metre underpass between Khasibazaar and Bafal Chowk is
expected to complete in two years. The four-lane underpass, which is
part of the Kathmandu Ring Road Improvement Project, will significantly
ease traffic congestion at Kalanki Chowk, according to Ramesh Kumar
Disti, the KRRIP engineer.A tunnel for the underpass is being dug at
present. More than two dozen Chinese workers have been mobilised for the
job. Once the underpass is completed, the vehicles driving between
Swyambhu and Balkhu will not have to experience traffic jams at Kalanki
intersection, Disti said.The underpass will be part of the 10.39 km
Koteshwor-Kalanki road for which the China has pledged a grant of Rs
5.13 billion.
