3. Other Information
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“EBRD” or the “Bank”) intends to provide a sovereign loan to the Government of Tajikistan. The proceeds of the loan will finance the rehabilitation and widening of approximately 70 km of the roadway between Vahdat to Roghun. The scope of works includes installation of an additional upper layer of asphalt concrete, partial replacement of the roadbed and subgrade, road widening, construction of pedestrian paths, installation of lighting, drainage, traffic signs and signals, bus stops, and enlargement of the drainage system capacity. Engineering measures will be implemented to protect the roadbed from landslides and natural hazards, including construction of retaining walls, artificial lowering of groundwater levels through drainage, slope stabilization with terracing, and other appropriate solutions.
