The works concern a total length of 54 kilometers.
On 26th Nov, 2022 PHA CEO Deputy Abdirizak Mohamed Hayir leading a group of PHA engineers joined the rehabilitation crew today to monitor and encourage the works of repairing.
PHA carry out maintenance activities, Repairs are made to the road surface and shoulder, the culverts and the other physical road structures.
The improved road condition generally results in lower travel times and travel costs, and a decrease in the speed of road deterioration as the deterioration process starts from scratch. The more deteriorated the road is, the more intensive cost the repairs will be.
