Landlocked Bihar, in the middle of India’s Gangetic plain region, is one of the country’s poorest, most populated, and economically backward states. Its road network, during project appraisal in 2008, was poor in terms of coverage and condition, and strengthening it to support the state’s economic development was a high priority.
The project appraisal in 2010 saw the North–South Economic Corridor (NSEC), which connects Greater Mekong Subregion countries and southeastern People’s Republic of China (PRC), as a dynamic area of development.

A difficult mountainous terrain and an inadequate transport system used to isolate southern Gansu in the western region of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

During project appraisal in 2010, poor transport connectivity was identified as a major development constraint for Nepal. Road transport, the predominant mode that accounted for more than 90% of passenger and freight transport, was supported by a strategic road network that provided links to major economic centers and neighboring countries.
