Road Sector Program Support Project

Abstract*

The objective of the Road Sector Program Support Project is to reduce road transport costs for road users in Moldova by improving the condition and quality of its road network and the way it is managed. This will be achieved by two components: the first is the road network recovery component which will rehabilitate about 400 lane-km of main roads (equivalent to about 160 to 200 km of main roads) and thereby reducing road user costs in the short term...

	Comment		The average road roughness (IRI) for the rehabilitated road section is 2.1 which results in a Vehicle Operating Cost reduction of11 percent.	The end target value of "at least 6% lower" has been exceeded on the road sections that were rehabilitated until now. The actualreduction in VOC has been about 11%.

	Comment		Based on road condition survey carried out by SRA.	A key objective of the Road Sector Program was to reverse the negative trend in the condition of the road network. This has beenachieved, since more than 19% of the National road network is now in good condition.

Also at the Program level, the Road Asset Value for the network of National Roads will increase as compared to the 2006 level.	Value	Road Asset value of US$ 2,29 billion (National Roa	US$ 2.96 billion	Asset value of National roads > than in 2007.
	Date	September 1, 2006	May 25, 2011	June 30, 2011
	Comment		Based on Asset Valuation exercise carried out in May 2011.	A key objective of the Road Sector Program was to reverse the negative trend in the asset value of the road network. This hasbeen achieved, since the asset value of the networl of National roads is now higher than in 2006; it is now US$ 2.96 billion US$instead of US$ 2,29 billion.

Roads in good and fair condition as a share of total classified roads	Value	32.40	33.00	33.00
	Date	January 15, 2007	May 25, 2011	June 30, 2011
	Comment	This is the share of main roads in good and fair condition (excluding local roads) before the project start. This is a WB coreindicator which was added during project execution as part of the mandatory retrofitting exercise. The values are: Good-7.3% Fair-25.1% (see PAD Annex 3 - refers to National roads)	The share of National roads in good and fair condition should increase as a result of the Government's overall road sector program(of which the project is a part). In May 2011, the value is still almost the same as in 2007, because even though more roads areingood condition, others have slipped from "fair" to "bad" condition.	The share of National roads in good and fair condition should increase, as a result of the road rehabilitation that is yet to beexecuted under the overall Road Sector Program, and in particular due to the road works to be executed under the project (funded byEBRD and EIB) by 2013.

It is expected that by the project closing date in 2013 the total length of roads Rehabilitated under the Road Sector Program willreach about 400 km.
