MPWT will assign and maintain the Project Management Unit to manage the project with composition, functions, terms of reference, staffing, and resources satisfactory to the World Bank. Component 1: Road Corridor Improvement will focus on the improvement and maintenance of about 247 km of existing road infrastructure. The overall framework for the engineering design will follow the ASEAN Highways Class 2 standards, including 7-meter asphalt paved two traffic lanes (3.5 meters for each direction) and pave…
