PRC: Eastern Sichuan Roads Development Project
Resettlement Plans
The proposed project in People's Republic of China will finance the construction of an expressway between Dazhou City and the border with Shaanxi Province.
The project components comprise:
- 138 km expressway
- 10 link roads with a length of 28 km
The Resettlement Plan (RP) addresses impacts of these two components based on the Project feasibility study.
The Sichuan Government will also finance a local road upgrading component comprising 30 sections with a total length of 402 km of township to village roads. Since the local road program involves upgrading the existing roads, this complementary component will involve little or no land acquisition and resettlement. A Short Resettlement Plan was prepared for this component. Sichuan Provincial Communications Department (SPCD) has assured ADB that any affected persons will receive the same compensation standards for the expressway and local roads.
Prior to commencement of land acquisition, SPCD will update the RP based on detailed design and measurement survey, and submit the RP to ADB for approval.
During project construction, if there is significant material changes in project scope or other causes, an updated RP will prepared, disclosed to affected persons and submitted to ADB for approval prior to commencement of such changes.
