The Government has accorded high priority for connectivity improvement within the country with a view to providing full benefits to the remote villages from mainstream development activities in the country. Accordingly, the Government is planning to construct 4000 bridges in rural areas to establish connectivity for transportation.

A large number of lagging villages will be connected with transport facilities through this project which will in turn facilitate easy access to market, education and healthcare facilities to villagers. This project will be implemented by the Ministry of Provincial Councils, Local Governments and Sports.
