N2  - The Mahendra Rajmarga- Sindhuli Road of Nepal is a part of proposed  Banepa-Sindhuli-Bardibas road corridor, which has a great impact on national economy. 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
