MANILA, PHILIPPINES - The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will help improve Bhutan's primary road network and expand accessibility in rural areas through a loan approved for US$27.3 million.
The project will upgrade about 140 kilometers of the 244-km Gelephu-Trongsa national highway, a strategic road link connecting the Indian border at Gelephu and the main east-west highway at Trongsa. Included in the highway upgrade is realignment between the Mangdichu and Wangdigang bridges that will shorten the highway.
