Thanks for your inputs guys. Yes, this is just an imagination. I have just spent about an hour or so in this work. So, it is not a perfect plan but an imaginary view. It may be modified by civil engineers if you want. But, my ideology is we can certainly make it possible: here are some points to suppor this: i. In Florida, building a one lane one-mile long road costs $610,000 including all reasearch, feasibility study etc cost ( From a reliable source . I fogot the link for the report). ii. Nepal has just recently got some million dollars in grant for some road project works (go through few days' back kantipur or http://www.adb.org/Media/Articles/2006/10416-Nepal-roads/default.asp). The total amount was 80 million dollars and its just for one project. With 80 million dollars we can construct US standard, with US manpower one laned 131 miles of road. In case of nepal I will double it and make it two laned. iii. The project duration to spend 80 million dollars was 5-6 years. You can calculate again on how much money had been flown to nepal in the name of road construction each year and project it to future .. Rest calculate on your own.... Thanks
