Timor Leste: PREPARATION OF DESIGNS AND CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION OF TIMOR LESTE ROAD NETWORK UPGRADING PROJECT
The project construction implementation component includes the improvement and upgrading of priority national roads, namely; …1) Dili-Tibar-Liquica (DL-29km) and ….2) Tibar-Gleno (TG-32 km). The two project roads are located in the western half of the country and within the three districts of Dili, Liquica and Ermera. The two project roads will be upgraded to include strengthening and widening of the existing pavement to 6 meters by asphalt surfacing and provision of road facilities in international standards. Vulnerability to damage from the effect of climate change will be addressed through appropriate engineering countermeasures and interventions. Likewise, the project must conform to all applicable ADB policies in respect to anticorruption measures, safeguards, gender, procurement, consulting services and disbursement as indicated in the PAM and loan documents.
The other component of the project includes the feasibility and detailed design of the Manatuto-Laclubar-Natarbora road section as identified in the Strategic Development Plan (2011-2013). The existing 81 kilometers road will be traversing from flat to rolling terrain in the north and passing the mountainous spine of the country towards the coastal plain in the south. The study and detailed design will also include the 10 kilometers road section from Laclubar junction to Laclubar.
