Description

ADB and the Government of India are working together to improve roads and increase trade along the North Bengal-Northeastern Region international trade corridor. The South Asian Subregional Economic Cooperation Road Connectivity Investment Program is building 2 national highways in West Bengal, as well as state roads in Manipur, extending to Myanmar. In total, the project is building about 236 kilometers of roads in the area to help resolve the constraint of _last-mile_ connections between the main in-country road network and neighboring countries. These roads leading to the border areas are enabling efficient and safe transport within India and in neighboring countries. The roads being improved provide key strategic links between South and Southeast Asia connecting Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Nepal. The improved roads are helping India and other South Asian countries link to Myanmar and other countries in Southeast Asia.
