India: Manipur Urban Road, Drainage and Asset Management Improvement Project

proposed

The proposed project will support the rehabilitation, the upgrade (without capacity expansion), and the maintenance of 547 km-long state road infrastructure, bridges and culverts in Greater Imphal. The civil works will consist of the reconstruction of existing asphalt-paved roads into more resilient rigid concrete roads, together with road safety improvement, pedestrian walkway, street lighting and utility ducts. To address frequent drainage issues that affect the living conditions of local residents and economic activities, continuous lined storm water drains and local side drains will be provided. The proposed project will strengthen PWD's capacity to manage Manipur road asset and ensure the sustainability of the infrastructure network through enhanced human and budgetary resources.
