The Improvement of Road Management Practices is a key initiative under the Regional Roads Development Project in Uzbekistan. Supported by the World Bank and implemented by the Republican Road Fund (RRF), this project aims to modernize road management practices through institutional strengthening, technological advancements, and capacity building. Key Activities: Development of Road Asset Management Systems: Creation of a comprehensive database and planning system for regional roads, incorporating GIS/mapping functionalities for better data visualization and analysis. Modernization of Survey Technology: Implementation of advanced road survey and data collection technologies to improve the accuracy and efficiency of road condition assessments. Regulatory and Practice Improvements: Simplification and standardization of spring and autumn road inspections, including the integration of digital tools for data recording and reporting. Training and Capacity Building: Conducting workshops and training sessions for local staff on modern road management practices, enhancing their skills and knowledge. Road Safety Audits and Impact Assessments: Conducting safety audits and impact assessments to identify potential hazards and implement effective safety measures. Project Impact: Enhanced Road Management: Improved efficiency and effectiveness in road maintenance and rehabilitation planning through advanced data-driven decision-making. Safety Improvements: Increased road safety through systematic inspections and the implementation of modern safety measures. Capacity Building: Strengthened institutional capacity and expertise in road management among local authorities and technical staff. Outcome: The Improvement of Road Management Practices project has significantly enhanced the management and maintenance of regional roads in Uzbekistan. By adopting modern technologies and best practices, the project has ensured more efficient, safe, and sustainable road infrastructure.The Improvement of Road Management Practices is a key initiative under the Regional Roads Development Project in Uzbekistan.
