Bernoussi 1 Project Title : Rehabilitation of Bo-Bandajuma Road Project Number : P-SL-DB0-010 Country : Sierra Leone Department : Transport & ICT Department (OITC) Division : OITC.1 1. Introduction The project involves the update of feasibility studies of the road from Bo to Bandajuma in the southeast of Sierra Leone, which is part of the Freetown-Monrovia Trans-West African Coastal Highway. The rehabilitation of Bo-Bandajuma road will involve overlaying Asphalt Concrete on the existing carriage way without major realignments. However, in most trading centers, roadside businesses have encroached on the carriageway which has triggered the need for resettlement and compensation. On the state of the road, it be briefly noted that, from the Bo towards Bandajuma and for its first 3.5km, the road deterioration has ranged from loss of paved surfaces, to development of gaping pot holes, stretches of mudflats and some impassable sections. The main areas of deterioration are within 15 km from Bo with a worst portion with glaring potholes at 24+000km.
