The World Bank has approved a US$ 105 million loan to support Sri Lanka's Provincial Roads Project.

The project aims to improve access to socio-economic centres in Eastern, Northern, and Uva provinces through the sustainable management of improved road infrastructure and consists of three components.

The first is rehabilitation of provincial roads and includes works and services for the upgrading and rehabilitation of about 150 km of provincial roads and other road infrastructure in Uva provinces.

It also includes works and services for the upgrading and rehabilitation of about 100 km of provincial roads and other road infrastructure in the Ampara district of Eastern province.

The second component is the maintenance program. Provinces will be assisted to develop and implement an effective maintenance strategy on their paved network.

The third and final component is implementation support and capacity building. It will finance the strengthening of the capacity of the Provincial Council Road Development Departments (PRDDs) in planning and budget management within a framework of fiscal constraint.
