- Project Impact
-
The impact of the Project will be the promotion of regional transport of freight and passengers via the Western Road Corridor and increased economic development and regional trade.
- Project Outcome
-
The outcome of the Project will be an efficient and safe regional transport route developed in the western region of Mongolia to link Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the PRC and Siberia in the Russian Federation through Hovd and Bayan-Olgiy aimags of western Mongolia. As part of Asian Highway 4, the road will help link Mongolia to the rest of Asia.
- Project Outputs
-
The Government of Mongolia is proposing to develop a 748.4-kilometer road corridor through the western region of Mongolia connecting Yarant at People's Republic of China (PRC) border to Ulaanbaishint at the Russian Federation border via Hovd and Olgiy, the aimag centers. Making up a portion of Asian Highway 4 and a component of the larger United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific-designated Asian Highway Network, the road corridor will link Mongolia with both the PRC and the Russian Federation, facilitating the flow of goods and passengers between the three countries. The proposed road corridor will be developed in two phases. A 431.2-kilometer road from PRC border to Hovd aimag (province) center will be developed as phase I. Phase II will develop a road from Hovd aimag center to the Russian Federation border. The Project includes (i) road safety improvement, (ii) community development to maximize the project's poverty reduction impact, (iii) awareness and prevention of HIV/AIDS and human trafficking on the road corridor, (iv) pilot project on improvements to road maintenance system and (v) capacity building of the of Ministry of Roads, Transport and Tourism (MRTT) and its provincial counterparts.

The construction supervision consulting services will be required from the middle of the second quarter of 2009 and extend through the completion of the road defects liability period at the end of the first quarter of 2013.
