Proper design and construction of pavement structure plays significant role for reducing transportation cost . The purpose of the research study was focused on (i) the flexible pavement design of existing 'Mahendra Rajmarga (East-West Highway) - Sindhuli Road' based on three different methods namely AASHTO, Asphalt Institute and Road Note-31, (ii) economic comparison of different pavement types. The study was conducted by stage construction approach with two stages at years 1991~ and 1998, the later being an expected year for the completion of the Sindhuli-Banepa sector. Possibilities of traffic diversion from the East-West Highway and Calcutta-the nearest sea port-were considered. Alternative Pavement ·thicknesses were obtained and the economic analysis was done by the Present Worth Method at 10% discount rate for 25 year analysis period. The result concluded preference of the pavement thickness by Road Note-31 method.
