The Third Secondary and Local Roads Project of Georgia objectives are to reduce transport costs on project roads and improve the sustainability of road asset management in the secondary and local project road network. The project consists of three components the first being rehabilitation and improvement of secondary and local roads. This component will finance (i) the rehabilitation of secondary and local roads, and (ii) consultancy services for the supervision of civil works and preparation of designs. The second component is capacity building and strengthening in local and secondary roads management. This component will aim at (i) building the capacity of the MRDI to provide technical oversight in local roads asset management, and (ii) further strengthening the RD’s capacity in secondary roads asset management. The third component is road safety technical assistance. This component will use a safe systems approach (i.e., engineering, education, enforcement and emergency services) and will finance a “Safe Village” program on and along three local roads in Imereti Region, which are to be rehabilitated under the Third SLRP. This component will finance implementation of (i) additional road safety engineering measures (e.g., sidewalks, pedestrian crossing, installation of speed bumps, barriers, blinking traffic lights near schools and other public places) outside the scope of rehabilitation or improvement works, (ii) education and publicity campaigns targeting residents living along these three local roads and other road users, (iii) technical assistance (e.g., equipment and/or training) to patrol police to monitor and enforce safety rules on these local roads, and (iv) technical assistance (e.g., equipment and/or training) to emergency services operating to timely and effectively respond to road accidents and reduce the risk of fatalities on these local roads. In case of savings during the implementation of “Safe Village” program in Imereti region, additional engineering measures may be suggested and implemented in another project region.
