Description

Tranche 2 will help improve about 2,548 kilometers (km) of rural access roads to all-weather standards, and about 118 km of national roads--sustaining connectivity between rural communities and socioeconomic centers in Sri Lanka. It will also address some of the challenges highlighted in the Sustainable Transport Initiative, such as climate adaptation, road safety and promoting effective gender mainstreaming. Tranche 2 is part of Government's country-wide rural road investment program aimed at providing all-weather road connectivity to currently unconnected rural communities in Sri Lanka.
