Recently, Raghubir Mahaseth, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport, visited the Siddhababa Tunnel undertaken by CSCEC.
During the visit, Raghubir Mahaseth was briefed on the project's construction progress and expressed his hope that the CSCEC project team would continue to work diligently to refine construction organization and complete the project as soon as possible, providing convenience for local residents.
The Siddhababa Tunnel is located in the Palpa District, Nepal's western development zone, about 270 kilometers from Kathmandu, with a total length of 2.59 kilometers. Once completed, it will become the first rapid passage connecting the southern cities with Nepal's second largest city, Pokhara, easing traffic congestion and promoting local economic development.
