Maurhtas has brougt Into sharp foous the hadeQjacles of many roadsectons whore desen standards are deficient and the accdent tollis heavy. The proposed Project would address ts core problm byselectivy strengthenrg and brrovng bnortant road sections wtth NMtraffic Intensity to hcrease the capa&.cy and service llfe of theseroads on an economrcally viable basis. The proposed Project wouik &a'oaddress the needs of the kdnistry of Works with respect to hprovng Itscapacity for road maintenance and traffic managanten Establisthigeffective automobile en*sslon control proceidres and marpowerdevelopment In the sector will aso formn an integul part of the Project.
amems The major economic benefits from the Project (about 80%) would comefrom savhng of the vehicle operational costs and reduced maintenancecosts of the road system. The proposed Project wouK also provkie forhproved traffic management, traffic safety and envrormnentalW[rovement (suc as vehicle emission control).
1bkx The propo.%d ProJect supports hih priority hnvestrmnts based on theGovemrre" FY88-90 Devepnment Pian. The economic JustUfkcatlon ofthe projepct . nents has been well estabIshed even underunfavorable hypothes concerning project costs and user benefts.The teodWcal sokAtlon adopted are based on adeq.ate enkerin andteChrcal studes. The pcssblUty of some delays due to dcffcutles Intakhg actual possession of lanZ along the roads to provIde adequatedralhage faclties and foot-paths mght occur. However, MlttIe addtionalland is Ikely to be needed for the Project, as most of the landrequrements are already part of the Goverrment's road reserve. Risksfrom hadequate project ktementation also seems n*imal as the physicalcorponents of the Project are essentially a follow-up of the on-go0gHigways Project

1.01 Maurfitls (IBRD Map 21703) Is sItuated in the hdan Ocoan about 2.400 'mfrom the African mahianda In addtKor to the main Wand, Maurltus, there are a few smallerIsands scattered in the Indan Ocean, the most bportant of which s Rodrigues. MaLtuk.shas a dense road network to kntegate Its 2,400 sq km of territory and to serve theneeds of Its population of about 1 ntUion on the main iandu In addtIon, about 35,000people live In Rodrigues and other sma islands. About hatf of the main sliand is arableland; the rest Is made up of rocks and mountahious slopes too steep for oAtivatln. Withthe exception of a few rocky areas, mostly alng the sea coast, the terraIn does notpose too much diffttty for land transport.
1.02 In view of the raeoteness of the country from Its tradig partners,International conectiore are of speclal concern to MaurtLus as Kt ahn to kipove ttsIntegration wtth the world economy. The country's forslgn trade depends signficantly onthe avalablIty of an efficient road transport system feedIng KS 'nternatlonal seaport andakrport Inter-sand comricatlon is generally Wt and Irregular.
1.03 The cotry has wtnossed a remarkable economic progress during the lastfive years, unrpecedented In Sub-Saharan Africa. The rsite of economic growth averagedover 6 percent per year durVg tNh period, whle the tate of unemloyrrent declined from19 to lee than 4 percent durig the same perod In step with the econaroc develoment,total frelgt and passenger traffic also grQw at about 8-10 percent per arvi during thesao period.
1.04 Beng esmal and sWUA monocual, the economy of Maurtk Is overlydependent on exports of sar and garmnt and development o Iternatonaxl toursm.The economy, thus, remahs hlguy vuwrable to exogenous factor- such as weatherhnduced output fbctuations or unoresoen movremnts in the tenns of trade. Given thecountrys preeent ttruat for ncreased exports and llberatdng hpots to promoteconpetKin, a Noer premium is bein placed by the cowt on the more efficientoperation and utilzation of exItin trarnport assets carrykf sktigcant voIUns offoreln trade and on Investnetns deeWled to remove cical bottle*ecks on Internationaltrade routes

1.06 The road network consists of about 1,800 in of roads which are clasidhIto tour categore motorways, main roads, secondary roads and oUwr roads (Table 1).Motorways and mahk roads togethwr constitute naly hanf of the network, while the otherhalf Is made up of secondary and other roads. The motor"ays, main roads and secondaryroads are paved Only about 140 lan of rural roads are stI urpaved
1.07 The motorways coripise the Port Louis-PhoenIx Nc (15 kn) and the PortLouis-PanVemoussse ln (11 Ion), wh are prlmarily desigred to relNeve trafflc congestionIn and around Port Louil The main roads constituto prb,cpal Zcs of the country's roadnetwork and comect detrict headquartern and main urban populatlon centers with oneanothr and wlth Port Louis, the capitaL Over 45 percent of the population roside Inthe Port Louis and Plahes Wilhems dstzlcts and there Is a corv:entration of h,ustry,coanerce and aministration In these region The spectrun of sfracoe transportfaciiti has, therefore, receved concentrated attention h thiss region and theaccessbIlty of the sland as a whole Is good and every viage on the IWand Is served byan all-weather road. WhNe the density of roads is Ng, ts qualfty needs substantalkh rovement (Chapter II).
1.08 The motor vehicle flet hI 1988 totaled slId,tly over 90.800 (Table 2), ofwch about 3,300 vehiles were owned by the Goverrient Tha floeet i amposltion Israther stable, about 35 percent passenger cars and about 15 percent landrovers andpick-ups vans; these two categorie accournt for neary half te ftleet sie. The trucks,traers ard buses corstue less tan 10 percent of the flet. Other types of vehicles,namely, motorcycles, autocycde, tractors, dumpers, road roUers. etc. account for slgiitover 40% of the fleet size. Over the perlod 197-84, the fleet was alnost stagMtgand the average amual growth was only about 2 percent Of late, the growth rate otmotor vehicle fleet has picked up and has abiioet doubled. The wahNg of the bn6rtquota on motor vehlices In 1984 and of customs utibs on goods vehicles skco 1987 haslargely h tlun the recent kwease h growth rates.
1.09 Passenger transport Is now rogtaated, while freit transport Is, by and large,deregated. The private car ownershp which was 35 hhVatants per car hI the 1987 isexpected to be about 30 habitants per car I early 1990's. There wE sti be a highrellance on the pubic passenger transport servkces for meeting the transport needs ofthe vast majority of the popuatlon. Bus operation I Mauritius Is presently carried out bythe National Trwuport Corporation (NTC) which Is a parastatal, fow private bus conPanles(Unitd Bus Servce, Rosei Transport, TrIolet Bus Service anm Mautan Bus Transport)and about 380 Idvividal bus operators with a total fleet of about 1,456 bes (Table 3).The h'dvldual operators own about 45 percert of tne bus fleet There are a'out 20dcfferent makes of buses hI the country and the bus fleet is ag"g (Tables 3 &nd 4).

1.14 The L*Utry of EconomIc Planning and Development (MPD) overvlbwdevelopment h the trwuport sector through ts review of hIfrasul'cture plans. However,responbty for th mangent, co-ordnaton and polcy kftatives f c the transportsctor Is dvked on various mrhdstrlee/departments. Mnstry of Works (MOW) Isresponebe for develpment and matenance of motorway and nih roads, wtle ttiupkeep of seondary and other roads Is the responsibility of loal authorlties.

1.15 Transportation projects hkcuded In the development plans orl$nate both atthe micro--level through the hustr!al enterwrbes and local authorities (especially formuncipal and local roads) and at the macro-level throug MEPD. The demands fortransport by the economic enterprises and sectors are reconcild by MEPD iconsultation wtth the shtry of Fhance (MOF) with due regard to the Govemnent'spolicy obJectives to-
(I) encourage more efficient operation and utlzation of the exstktgtransport hfrastructure with speclal en*hasls on the hprovementof external srade routes canry substantlai vokm, of goo90and passe&gr;
(11) develop al transport operations n a harmonized maner, hI fubco-operation with the producg, warehousrig, forwardIng unitsand users to make them competltlve, cost-effective and energyeffticent,
(lii) encourage mass transportation by public conveyances-ansd

The Govennent's geral avproach to assln priority to completion of on-gorV projectsand to rehablltatkoimprovement of exstkg hnfrastructure based on the aboveconskderations appears reaeonable
1.18 The cost recovery polcy In the tranport sector is highly satisfactory. TheMMA and AM (in dharge of operations and iranagement of Port Louis and the national alrnerespectively) are fhancaly viable and have registered slgfcant profits In successiveyears (Tables 9 and 10). The Clvi Aviation Departmnt Is also operatkg on a soundMeandal basi (Table 11). The fuel pricI poies of the Goverrnment are reasonable;there are no subekdes (Table 12). The revemues from road transport are sufficient tonmeet the armual development and maintenance of road Infrastructure on a pay-as-you-obasis (Tables 13 and 14). The flnanrcal performance (Table 15) of the nportant busconpanbes hgNits the urgent need for hV,oved prouctivity In this sub-sector toensure financial vlablity.

The frst oan (LA 976-4AS) forUS$10.0 millon was approved In Apr 1974 and the second loan (LrL 1339T-MAS) forUS$3.6 rillon for a revied project was approved In Novenber 1976. The project wascoftanced by LK biateral aid (US$3.0 milon eqlvalent) and by UNDP (US$514,000),provdnWg for tchrical assistance to the port authorty. The project was successfullyconPleted In March 1983.

2.06 The MOW, through Its Tsctiial Department (TD), Is responsble forconstruction, rovement and maintenance of motorways and main roads, and also forconstruction and maintenance of builings. Rural roads are ad rWstered by the threedistrict councils, wiHe the krrovement and maitenance of Lrban roads Is theresponsbility of the five uncial councils.
2.07 Prior to May 1989, the TD comPrlsed dght professonal sectkxne Roads,Buldns, Materlals Laboratory, Traffic, Mecharical, Sewerage, Quantity Surveyhg andArchitecture. Road works were carried out by nine district units which were undo theresponsibillty of five territorlal units (North, South, East, West and Port Louis). Theesunits were also kn charge of building works, and hence reported to two Headquartersectons. Under the responsibility of the Mechanical Engineering Section, a CentralWorkshop In Plane Lauzun (Port Louis) with five outposts (Mahebourg, Vacoas, Centre deFlacq, Rose-Hill and Terre Rouge) ls In charge of maintahhg road equ.pment and vehicesof other miristrIes/departments, This orgarization, aKthough It had succeeded in keepin'- roads passable all year round, could no longe handle adeqwately the maintenanceneeds of the road network which were becomng hcreaslngiy conplex due to heavy trafficvolunes. Furthermore, long and cumbersome procurment and adymrstrative proceduresand lack of properly trained staff were scoe of the major constraints facng theorganizaticn.
2.08 In an effort to mrove and streni,,den Its road maintenance capacity, theGovemnent has created In May 1989 a fulklfdged decentralized road maintenanceorganization (Chart 1). Under the overall responsibility of the Princpal Engineer, roadmaintenance operators wIN henceforth be carri out by three dvsions each conprsirgthree districts. These dvisons are North (Port Louis, Panpleousse and Riviere DuRarpart districts); Center (Moka, Flacq and Grand Port districts); and South (Plains Wnms,Rlack Rlver and Savane ditrcts). These units hav^ been asslged adequate equipmert,personrve, material and suppllee to carry out routie road maintenance operation andemergencies works wlthin ther Jlsdction. The Prhctpal Ernner, with the assistance ofDlvision Ernweers, Is responsble for plannirg overal maintenance operaUons andmonitoring kementatlon through performance accounthg. Lkder the new organitationalarrangements, the Prhcpal Engineer (Planning) Is responsble for plarnnng, deslgn andsupervsIon of new construction and Wrprovements. In addition, the Govemment has alsotaken a poicy decbion 'o contract out resurfacing (pertodic maintenance) works toprivate contractors. Wltn regard to management of road maintenance equipment, whle theorganizational set-up of the Central Workshop (Chart 1) remaho the same, based on therecorilnJatkr of a racentiy caroTeted cxTisultant's study, the Goverrmnt hasIntroduced satisfactory kirovements In the operatonal procodres. These hinudestreamlining of procurement and disbursement procedures, and hntrodction of a system ofincentives for the staff. With these ehanges, the new set-up Is expected to become moreefflcent In tacklin road maintenance operations.
2.09 Each of the TD's sections, except Quantity Surveyin and Architecture, areheaded by Prhcpal Ernweers; the Quantity Surveyig and Architecture Sections are
headed by a Quantty Surveyor and Prrcpal Architect respectIvely; they all report to theChief Enerr. The Mecharical Engterkg Sction is staffre by a prhlipal nre, twomchanical engIners, two mechanical officers, a workshop supevir, sufficient ruberof support staff, and has a work foroe of about 100 qualified technicians (mechanics,e nqctrlcas, fitters, blacksniths, etc...). Road maintenance operations eploy about 3000staff khckaa about 60 hil-4evel staff, 200 tecvdans, and 2740 laborers. AfthouiadeWate rmewlcay, this work foroe Is not fuly traked to efficiently carry outmaintenance operatons. UndLr the proposed Project (para 3.18), a trahhg program wouldbe hnlmted to ut'ade the skins of these personnel.
2.10 MaurUius has adeQwate faciKts for trakhg cvil works persorv-el. TheUIveralty of Maurtkus offers courses In civN, mechanal and eectrical en0neerlng. Thehdustrial Trade Training Center (ITTC) at Beau-Basshi, establied In 1969 with LNDP/ILOassstance, and the ITTC at Ptton, estabished In 1979 with assistance provided under theBankts Fhst Ed&cation Project (Loan 1 033-MAS), provide vocatonal traIIg to about 480students each year. The oourses offered at the ITTCs hclide mehanical engineering,wektng and metal fabrication, masorry ani concrete work, etc. In addtin, the LyceePolytechnique set up In 1982 with the assistance of the French Govermnent providescourses In cvIl, mechanical and electrical tngieArIn for about 112 students arually.

5.01 The major Interest of Maurltkus' Pub'lc Sector hnvestment Program (FY 1988-1990) Is to preserve the past and existng investments In the economy, hinrove prodctvityand increase operational efficiency. For the road subsector this translates Into rehabilitationand bWroved maintenance cf the prcxa! arteres with heavy traffic density. MaurltkLsattaches a very high priority to the b,povement of Is extemal trade routes (para 1.02).The growth of motor vehicle traffic on the prklary hligway network of Maurftkis has broughtinto sharp focus the hadequacies of many road section where deslgn standards aredefient and the accident toll . heavy (Tab'e 20). The proposed Project would addressthmse core problems by selectvely strengtherg and hprovhg bportant road sectons basedon sound economic consdkerations. Furtheriore, the proposed Project would also address theneeds of the MWistry of Works with respect to bTvrovN Its capacity for road malntenanceand traffic management HLunan resource development in the transport sector wMI be anin.egal part of the Project
5.02 The mportant oc:miodtles that would be affected by the knproved roads areagrIcultural produce especially sugar, construction materials hdiudhg cement, fruIts andvogetabls, petroeun products, hdustrial raw materials and hport/export of general cargo.b¶proved road cornections would also stkumate tourism dvslopment. The ultkmatebenefiaries of the proposed Project would be rnad users who, due to the diversity oftraffic using the road network, come from a wide range of sectors and Icome groups.Because trarnport enterprises are coroettive, It Is expected that the benefits which wouldIitialy accrue to the transport users would be gradually passed on to the economy inneral.
IL Pro t Costs and Bunt its
5.03 The economic evaluation of the dfferent subpro,ects is based on the feastiltystudis and economc analyses unidertaken by the consultants unlder the aegis of the Mnistryof Works. These studies were reviewed and dicussed with the concerned agencies andmargnal sub-projects were either reformulated or postponed as a result of the review.
5.04 The traffic projections for the different sub-projects are based on pasttraffic trends, gasoline and dise consumptlon profie (Table 21) and planred hcreases Inproduction and conourmtlon In the zones of infmace. Since no generated/hiduced traffic Isanticpated to develop on the Project roads (the roads have been paved for decades), theexpected traffic growth takes Into account nomal traffic growth only.
5.05 For calculatng the econoxic benefts and costs. internatonal prices have beenused for rported equiprnent, materlals and other tradeable commoditles. Land and other non-tradeable Items ke aggegates, skilled and unskilled construction labor have been valued atlocal prices. Economic costs net of taxes were estknated for aHl investrrmit costs,maintenance costs and operation costs.
5.06 The quantitaUve economic analysis of the Project road sectons takes accountof savigs In vehicle operatng eosts, passenger travel tknes and road maintenance costs.For bushess journeys made wlthn the Mkence area of the Project roads, ttne savh9s were

5.07 The projected traffic volumee Imply annual growth rates in the range of 2% to101. These rates are wed below those that occurred in the Project road segnents durkg theperod 1985-88. The present hlg growth rates have been assumned to taper-off sigflcantlyfrom 10% per arnma for cars and vans durig 1988-90 to 7% per arun durng 1991-95 andfurther down to 5X per arn dLrfg 1996-2011 wtth the Wloy slwdown In the growth of theeorany In the futiLe. Medilun trucks, heavy trucks and buses are expected to grow atslower rates (Anex 11) over the economk lHe of the road works.

C. E_i: Return _FR) nd Se_fttv
5.08 Based on the most probable estkmates of constructin, eqW.nent andmaitenance costs, the proposed Investments on cifferent Project conVonents produceeconomic return (ERs) rangn from 21% to 50% (table 5.1). Al investnents would yild fstyear beneft ratio (FYR) of 1^% or more. The welted average ER of al cliv works andeqummwnt components, which account for about 93% of total Project costs Is 28%. If theresurf achg program of high traffic density roads were not ndertaken, vehcle operathgcosts on the progresslvely deterioratig pavements would Inrease and those hNway sectionswhch would fall prematurely would require corplete recaostruction at a cost relaUvely hiWrthan that of an hyedate ovlay. Repacement and modenmzation of low efficiency littedcapacity road machhery wiN upgrade MOW's -.aintenance capaciy and reduce road maintenancecosts Tecifdcally advanced fied testin and laboratory equomnt are primarily desigred toirove traffic operation., pavement managaot and quallty control on maintenance
operatons of the entire pubic road networks. The above ERs urderstate the ful benefits ofthe Project by excludhg benefts due to icreased traffic safety, qualty of servie andconvenIence of travelers on the hrroved facitie. Sentvtty analyses were carried out totest the effect of variation In construction and eQpment costs and users' benefits on theabove estmatea. Even under the Lnfavorabe assm¶ption of 15% Ngerconstruction/equipment costs, confi'ed with a 15% redction In uers' benefits, the ER'sremain acceptable withti the range of 15% to 34% with an overal wgdited ER of 21%.

A3 BlAck Rtve Road (28 Km) - Thb road section rikcs Al (Royal Road' toBlack River and provwides an hiportant conoctlon between Port Louls and the hllypopovated district of Plain Wihemi to the scuthwest part of the Island. The wdtth of theroad Is varyin between 6.25 m and 7.40 m. The drahage In some section Is tadequate.About 2,000 veNcies, 300 of wtkh were heavy vehicles, were usig this section in 1988.It Is stkhated that traffic on this section wIl hicrease by aIout 8% to 10% per yearduring 1989-90 and 4% to 7% per year during 1991-95 and thereafter increase at therate of 2% to 3% per year up to 2,011, approxknately the econonic life of the kTvrovedproJect sectlon. The road crosses urban, semi-urban and rural areas and passes throughIridustrIal areas and sugarcane fleids.
2. A8 Saint Jean Road (2.0 km) - This Is the main road through Quatre Bomes.Its width is about 7.40 m and shoukJers do exist. In 1988, the cverage daily trafficvoume was about 14,500 vehicles, of which about 1,300 was heavy comr.arclal veNices.Traffic Is further expected to grow between 5% and 10% per anrum for cars and pick-upvans and between 2% to 6% per anumi for buses and trucks over the next 25 years.Heavy passenger traffic Is a dominant feature of the road sectlon. hkrovement of thetraffic flow in Saint Jean roundabout and strengthening of pavement are urgent.
3. a2 Pabna Road (9 km) - This section links the Plalne Wihems district to BlackRiver road and c osses the urban area of Pakna. Except on a small stretch nside theurban area, there is no foot-paths and klntudinal drahage Is ver> Inadequate. Asnunerous pedestrians wak al the road in and around the urban area, the existig roadcharacteristics pose serious traffic hazarud The width of the road varies between 6.40and 7.40 m. In 1988 on the average about 3,300 vehicbs were operathg on this sectionAbout 1,000 of this traffic consisted of trucks, heavy trucks, trailers and buses. Trafflcalong tNs section Is expected to grow at an arnual rate of 5% to 8% for cars and pick-up vans and 2% to 6% for buses and trucks dhring the next 25 years.
4. Fllc en Flac Road (7 km) - This section inks A3, near )Jnctlon of Pabna roadto the coastal village of Flic and Flac. The first part of the road crosses sugarcanefields. The Influence area of tHs road has considerable potential for development oftourlsmr In 1988 the average dally traffic volume was about 1,800 of which about 33%was commerclal vehices. Traffic on ths sction Is expected to grow betwoen 6% and 8%per year for cars and vans and betweon 2 and 5% per year for trucks and buses for thenext 25 years.

Usually In such cases,two atwrnative courses of action are possble (a) applying an overlay as an Immediatestrergwnv procadure or (b) to cca-,-Aetely rocontruct those sWctlons aiter theY fall.Economic analysis was made on the basis that If thb overlays were not applied, vehicleoowatin costs on the przgressively deteriorathg pavement would hicrease, and thosehNghway sections which would fall prematurely would reqalre coplete reconstruction at acost relatively hIgher than that of an eimedlate overlay.
6. VehIce operatin costs (VOC) on the project road section have beenesthr.ated separately for each road, and for every year. takin into account the condt!onof road surface, the expected deterloration from clbnate and traffic, as well as themaintenance operation carried out on the roads. VOCs were calculated by consultants(OCEOM) usng hNhway deskn and maintenance standard model (HDM). Six typical vehiclegroups were selected (cars, pick-up vans, meC'isn trucks, heavy trucks, trailers andbusas) and unrt VOC savhgs based on wlth' and 'wlthoutn the project scenarios wereassessed Based on the cost/benelt streams (Table 11.1 attached) for each road sectionERs were estknated

AboLt 130 ki,i. of hg traffic density (1600 vehices per day and above)roads have been hcluded under the project Many of these roads are beig subjected toheavier axle loads, and In many cases heavier traffic vo&zres than they were designed for,with consequent raNd pavement deterioration and sixortened Itfe, and the risks of seriouspavement falures In future. Usually In such cases, two aternative courses of actlon areposstl3; ka) applyig an overlay as an rmmedlate measure to Wrove road standard or (b)to completely reconstruct those section after they fall. Economic analysis was macie onthe basis that If the overlays were not appled, these Nglway sections would fallprematurely and would rewikre substantially hlgher costs for complete reconstruction.
