Result-Based Road Maintenance and Safety Project – Monitoring and Supervision of the Four Output-and-Performance-Based Road Maintenance Contracts

The Government of the Republic of Albania received financing from the World Bank towards the costs of implementing a Results-Based Road Maintenance and Safety Project (RRMSP), which addresses the maintenance needs of the high-traffic sections of the National Road Network. It is carried out by rolling out 5-year performance based maintenance contracts designed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of road maintenance operations.

• (i) Rehabilitation works
• (ii) Improvement works
• (iii) Routine maintenance
• (iv) Periodic maintenance
