Bhutan plans to build its second east-west highway to improve trade and rural connectivity in the southern part of the country. This highway is expected to provide additional connectivity to India, increase regional trade and open up internal areas of Bhutan. This requires identification of climate change risks and vulnerabilities of the project roads based on hydrological studies using climate projections for the project area.
