The Highway Maintenance Project seeks to help support the Government's Five-Year Maintenance Improvement Program (1987-1991). Financing is to be provided for a portion of the program and includes: (a) periodic maintenance of paved federal roads and bridges; (b) provision of new, improved or expanded workshop facilities; and procurement of road maintenance equipment. In addition, the project provides for implementation of the Secretariat of Communications and Transport's (SCT) equipment overhaul and rehabilitation program; training in equipment operation, repair and maintenance and in road maintenance planning and operations; and consulting services for training, studies and technical support to upgrade maintenance planning, design and execution. Since the needs greatly exceed the funds available, the size of the program is based on the budgetary resources that the Government has confirmed will be allocated and represents the minimum level of expenditures needed to prevent further deterioration of the federal road network.
