Main Tasks
A. Capacity Assessment of SCRB
B. Road Asset Management System
C. 5‐Year Road Rehabilitation Program
D. Detailed Design of 5 Roads
The Objective of the Emergency
Road Rehabilitation Project (ERRP) is
to better manage the road assets by
planned rehabilitation of highly
damaged segments of the Country’s
highway and rural road network, re‐
establishing critical river crossings,
and restoring the institutional
capacity to manage and maintain
roads. This would contribute to the
Country’s economic and social
recovery. Also, the project objective is
to provide institution building
support, by providing data
organization, management training,
and by strengthening capacities of the
engineering staff.

Allocated Budget Expenditure
1‐ SCRB has spent almost the total approved budget over the last 2 years, which was an excellent
achievement given the limitations of the political environment.
2‐ The shortfall in achieving the expenditure has been attributed to security reasons in 2003‐2007.

Huge gap between the budget requirements and outlay
Less than 50 per cent of needed outlay over the last eight years from 2005 to 2012

SCRB ORGANIZATION – Improvement
∗ Creation of the owner/provider model.
∗ Decentralization of Decision Making.
∗ Accountability for Results.
∗ Introduction of Competition and Transparency.
∗ Increased use of Information/ Management.
∗ Innovative Financing Arrangements.

ROAD ASSET MANAGEMENT
REHABILITATION AND DESIGN

Predicts road network performance as a function of :
Traffic volumes and loading
Road pavement type and strength
Maintenance standards
Environment / Climate
Quantifies benefits to road users from:
Savings in vehicle operating costs (VOC)
Reduced road user travel times
Decrease in number of accidents
Environmental effects

ROAD DEVELOPMENT VISION
Target Road Network – 20 Years Plan
The road network needs to grow
more than three fold to nearly
300,000 km (from 86,000 km)
Most of the growth should be in
the category of rural and urban
roads
All weather road connectivity to
all towns with a population of
250 or more
Targeted road network of SCRB
by 2033 – 140,000 km 0
