Implementation Status Overview The loan has been effective since November 2010 and has disbursed USD47.6 or 32% as of September 2014. The project was restructured in August 2014. The level 2 restructuring of the project resulted in: (i) a reallocation of funds within the components to allow the execution of selected high priority investments for urban transport in the metropolitan areas; (ii) a formal transfer of the implementing unit to the Ministry of the Interior and Transport; (iii) modification of the key indicators for the Project; and (iv) modification of certain Project activities. The restructured project is now focused primarily on three public transport investments under preparation: a BRT project in greater Buenos Aires with proposed works in the municipalities of La Matanza and the city of Buenos Aires; segregated lanes projects in the municipalities of Santa Fe and Rosario. The project is also financing technical assistance to strengthen planning and data platforms for urban mobility planning and management in medium-sized Argentine cities. The project is expected to achieve its development objectives and be complete by the Loan closing date in February 2016.
