NR 56 was a gravel road prior to project approval in 2009. It was subjected to flooding and its surface was severely degraded and was thus impassable during wet seasons. Under the project, the road would be improved to all-weather paved standard. Therefore, it was expected that the project would increase access to local markets, reduce travel times and vehicle operating costs, and increase tourism, leading to increased economic activity in the project area.
