ROADS FLOOD RECONST.

closed

The Road Flood Reconstruction Project will help restore normal traffic conditions in the Abyan and Aden Governorates, following severe damage caused by floods in March, 1982. This will permit economic development to continue in these Governorates as well as in the regions behind. The project will also help strengthen road maintenance and construction capabilities and help identify a sound long-term economic development strategy for the transport sector. The project will consist of: i) the strengthening of management, installations and equipment of the existing (Abyan) Road Reconstruction and Maintenance Unit; ii) reconstruction of: (a) numerous damaged road sections totalling about 40 km and damaged culverts and irish crossings in Abyan Governorate; and (b) a damaged section (about 1300m) on the Aden-Little Aden road and a damaged section (about 1000m) and flood protection works near the Aden international airport in the Aden Governorate; iii) technical assistance to strengthen the Ministry of Construction's project supervision and monitoring capabilities; and iv) a transport sector study. The project does not face any major risk.
