INTRODUCTION 1. Roads are the main mode of transportation in Chhattisgarh. National highways (NH6, NH16 and NH78) provide good east-west connections with neighbouring states, and NH43 and NH200 provide the main north-south connection between Raipur, Bilaspur and Jagdalpur. However, the remaining roads in Chhattisgarh are mostly in poor conditions, and not passable in the monsoon season. This is especially true for roads in southern and northern Chhattisgarh, where most of the tribal people live. The total road length in Chhattisgarh is about 36,000 km with the road density less than 30 km per 100 km2 against the national average of 100 km per 100 km2. To improve state roads, Chhattisgarh Public Works Department (CGPWD) in 2002–2003, prepared a 10-Year Master Plan for Road Sector Development (MPRSD) for the years 2003 to 2012. MPRSD aims to (i) promote development of six main road corridors, (ii) remove capacity bottlenecks from the network to better connect rural areas, and (iii) support socioeconomic development by improving road access and connectivity among growth centers. Based on MPRSD, Government of Chhattisgarh prepared and approved a priority investment program for improvement (rehabilitation, strengthening and widening) of about 5,000 km of state roads at an estimated cost of about Rs 105 billion ($2 billion). CGPWD has improved many roads through Government funds and support from funding agencies including 1249 Km roads with the help of ADB. 2. The Government of Chhattisgarh (GoCG) plans to improve the state road network under Chhattisgarh State Roads Sector Development Project (CSRSDP) with the assistance of Asian Development Bank and for that has applied a loan through Government of India from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the improvement of about 916 kms state roads in Chhattisgarh. This road up-gradation and rehabilitation project will improve transport efficiency of the State road network which will contribute to expansion of economic opportunities and poverty reduction. 3. The Chhattisgarh Public Works Department (CGPWD), Government of Chhattisgarh is the Executing Agency (EA) for the project. The nineteen project roads have been divided into three Groups (Group A, B &C). The Consultancy services have been engaged for advisory and construction supervision, institutional strengthening, social rehabilitation and resettlement, environmental mitigation and road safety measures. The construction supervision consultancy works have been awarded to following agencies 4. This project comprises of widening and strengthening of state highways and major district roads. Under Group A roads, there are 6 packages (Package-1 to 6) of about 273.30 km, under Group B roads, there are 8 packages (Package-7 & 8, Package-10 to 15) about 390.36 km and under Group-C roads, there are 4 packages (Packages -16 to 19) comprising of 191.944 km road network. The details of road package, name of the road and length under each package are given in table 1.
