The Koshi Barrage also known as Kosi Barrage is a sluice across the Koshi river in the Nepalese Mithila region that carries vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic between Madhesh Province and Koshi Province of Nepal. It is near the International border with India. The barrage was built between 1958 and 1962, and it has 56 gates. It was constructed after the Koshi Agreement was signed between the Government of Nepal and India on 25 April 1954. The barrage was designed and built by Joseph and Company Limited, India. The Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve is roughly 3–4 miles north of the barrage.
