Project description

The exiting road surface is below the ground level and severely degraded which gets corrugated and damaged frequently. The existing drainage system is not functioning well. This results lower level of service to community. Also, it goes under water during the rainy season making it impassable. Based on these factors, this road needs to be raised and gravel sheeted and the drainage needs to be upgraded.

It is proposed to lift the road providing subgrade, sub-base and to provide gravel base. Also, it is proposed to upgrade the drainage system. This project is planned to be delivered partnering with funding approved under Safer local road infrastructure program. Together with the funding allocation under Roads to Recovery for 25/26 FY which is $489,403 , and the total budget is $2.4 million. This arrangement will avoid separate mobilization costs improving value for money and benefit to the community.

Total cost of proposed project is $2,408,072
