The second component funds studies and technical assistance in highway maintenance management, transport and trade integration, expressway commercialization and corporatization, and road safety as well as staff training programs covering all aspects of highway planning, design, construction, operation, finance, and maintenance. The third component funds the front-end fee while the fourth component finances land acquisition and resettlement.
