Hunan Roads Development II Project

The project expressway was implemented in an efficient and effective manner and was opened to traffic on 18 December 2008, which coincided with the completion date estimated at appraisal. The timely completion of the project was mainly due to early project preparation and readiness, including the completion of preliminary design in March 2003 and the detailed design in December 2003, as well as advance procurement of key civil work contracts and project implementation consultants. The achievement of key milestones of the project contributed to timely completion of the project expressway, despite some delays at the commencement stage.
