To ensure the sustainability of this road, it is suggested that all new work include funds and direction for the maintenance of the Sayaboury to Paklay road. The contractor who worked on this project gained a lot of experience during the construction of the road. However, the contractor now has no equipment to conduct new work, and is in a state of limbo awaiting either the transfer of equipment from the UN equipment fleet or the commencement of the road to Kenthao. As a result, the capacity built from this project is in jeopardy. A similar situation should be avoided in future projects.
Training is required to manage the road work enterprise.
While experience was gained in road construction techniques, only modest experience was gained in management tasks such as forward planning, procurement and financial management. Training in these activities should be included in future programmes. Improvements are required in the interpretation of geotechnical information, and designing appropriate construction monitoring tests. Documentation of the design process needs minor improvements. It is urgently required to have a decision regarding the implementation of the potential road rehabilitation between Paklay and Kenthao.
