closed

The objectives of the Second Roads Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project for Papua New Guinea are to: (i) improve road transport to project areas through providing satisfactory physical condition and safety in selected roads; and (ii) strengthen institutional arrangements for road maintenance including the participation of the private sector and communities. There are two components to the project, the first component being rehabilitation, upgrade, or maintenance of roads and bridges. This component will cover the physical implementation of works on sections of roads and bridges selected for rehabilitation, upgrading and maintenance under the project. There are two sub-components: the first comprises a number of sub-projects on the Hiritano highway in Central and Gulf provinces that are already identified as priority projects. The second sub-component consists of funding for sub-projects that will be identified and selected through annual prioritization and planning, commencing after the first year of project implementation. Finally, the second component is the technical assistance for project management, design and supervision services, and capacity building.
