This road is currently being extended up to Kalimati in Nalgad Municipality, which is located on the right bank of the Bheri River. To get from the Kalimati Bazaar to the Powerhouse site, a bridge across the Nalgad River will be needed. A 10-kilometer access road from Kalimati to the dam site has been constructed. As part of the infrastructure development, an alternate access road Kalimati Khantakura Sirke of an additional 24 km of project road between powerhouses and headwork has already been completed.

Apart from Chhinchhu-Jajarkot Feeder Road, Middle Hill Lok Marg and Puspa Lal Marg (Dolpa Rajmarg) are also being constructed in the vicinity of the project area. Middle Hill Lok marg Start from Dang- Musikot –Rati Village and goes upto the Proposed Powerhouse of Nalsinghgad Hydropower Storage Project. Another road network being constructed in the vicinity of the Nalsyaugad Hydropower Project is Dolpa Rajmarga which is known as Pusapa Lal Marga as well . This road starts from Salli Bazer and ends at the Dunai.
