The expanded stretch will be connected to Dapcha via Panauti, Shankhu and Namobuddha while another route will be connected to Katunjebeshi via Shankhu Dahatar. Lumbini-Khani Bright JV is constructing the Rylae-Kushadevi-Panauti-Dahaltar road section at the cost of Rs 388.31 million. A contract has been signed to complete the construction by mid-March 2021. As informed, the road will be linked with BP Highway via the route of Gwarko of Lalitpur and Chaukidanda of Kavrepalanchowk.

On the occasion, acting vice-chair of the state planning commission Shyam Kumar Basnet said that the route will provide a crucial way to exit and enter the Kathmandu Valley.
