The project will promote a viable and efficient transport sector by rehabilitating and upgrading road arteries critical for foreign trade and transit traffic. The project will also enhance service life for road investments by supporting lower axle load limits for trucks, more appropriate and stronger road pavement construction and better maintenance. Technical assistance to review institutional arrangements and develop the capacity and capability of sector agencies to ensure sustainable improvements of roads and operational efficiency and financial viability of the railway will also be an important objective.
