This loan helped finance improvements to the entire length of the NR7 national road. The 267km route, from Phou Khoune in the west to Nam Khan on the Vietnam border, was reconstructed or upgraded to all-weather standard and a number of bridges were either repaired or replaced. In addition, 100km of feeder roads were rehabilitated, and a 31km stretch of the NR1 was upgraded.
