For landlocked, mountainous Tajikistan, its 26,000 km road network is a vital means of transport. Much of it, however, is old and badly worn, such as the Dushanbe–Kyrgyz Border Road, a key transport corridor. Phase I rehabilitated the first 140 km of the road; Phase II will carry out the following:

  • rehabilitation of an additional 89 km of the Dushanbe–Kyrgyz Border road;
  • improvement of 60 km of rural feeder roads;
  • installation of drainage facilities; and
  • replacement, repair and construction of bridges.
In addition to benefiting the rural poor by improving access to social services and marketplaces, the project will generate both temporary and permanent employment opportunities.
