A draft Action Plan for the Establishment of the Road Maintenance Management System in Cambodia has been prepared. This Action Plan will be wisely enhanced under  the up-coming Road Asset Management  Project financed by World Bank, ADB,  AuSAID and RGC. However, parts of the works in the action plans are already well ahead and are implemented on a pilot basis due to urgent requirement. This is the case for some sections  of  the draft “Guidelines for Maintenance Works” that was urgently required for quality control of the maintenance activities since 2007.




Preparation of the Bidding Documents for the Periodical Maintenance of four contract packages was completed in early February 2008. Invitation to Bid is under preparation.

“Distribution plan of overload control-related equipments” and “Draft guidelines for overload control team” are completed. The draft  is being reviewed by the Overload Working Group






1. Further technical discussion is under way for the finalization of some draft Guidelines

2. Technical Trainings on the Use of the Guidelines to the Provincial Department of Public Works & Transport are  required
























No









Technical Trainings on the Use of the Overload Guidelines to the Provincial Overload Control Teams are  required
