Kathmandu–Terai/Madhesh Expressway, also known as Fast Track, is an under construction road connecting Kathmandu and Nijgadh in southern Terai region of Nepal.[1] The road is 70.977 kilometres (44.103 mi) long, of which, 48.037 kilometres (29.849 mi) is normal roads, 12.885 kilometres (8.006 mi) is bridges and 10.055 kilometres (6.248 mi) is tunnels. The expressway is being constructed by Nepal Army, originally scheduled to be completed by September 2021.[2] The new set target date for completion is 2024.[3] As of July 2021, 16.1% of the work has been completed.
The consulting service for the construction is provided by Yooshin Engineering, a Korean firm.[4] The most complicated section, including the tunnels and several bridges will be constructed by Chinese companies China State Construction Engineering and Poly Changda Engineering.[5]
In 2020, the Nepal Army had selected six international firms to provide consultation service for the project, however the process was stopped after a probe found that the selection criteria were leaked.[6]
