This project will be implemented in the north/northwest of the country and entails the reconstruction, widening and re-alignment of five feeder roads and two sections of the Nymensingh-Nandail regional route.
Totaling 174 km, all stretches will be paved and shoulders added to accommodate non-motorized and slow vehicle traffic. In addition, maintenance plans will be implemented for 50 km of regional roads and for 400 km of priority roads in the areas with the highest poverty levels. A safety assessment will be conducted on an additional 200 km of roads, and improvements made accordingly. The newly-renovated roads will afford the local population swifter, safer transport and help integrate rural communities with the rest of the country.
