23. The Way Forward The Way Forward All maintenance works are managed as projects Contract signing with ERCC All maintenance works are to be supervised by consultants Road safety issues should be addressed Capacity building for RNMDs (training, staff, facility) Improvement of axle load control works (training, staff, facility) Knowledge of road network condition by RNMDs Ten maintenance projects will be undertaken by private contractors

24. The Way Forward The Way Forward 20 small scale contractors participated in bridge maintenance 26 small scale contractors will participate on paving town section construction and asphalt road maintenance Awareness creation to stakeholders on road maintenance Consultant for road management support service Revise road maintenance specification Conduct monthly evaluation meeting with RNMDs Resolve hindrances identified by auditors and stakeholders

25. The Way Forward The Way Forward Modernization Modernization of Road Asset Management System ◦ Establish Road Location Referencing System ◦ Road Asset Valuation ◦ Develop Traffic Sign and Pavement Marking Management System ◦ Develop Road Asset Management Policy and Strategy ◦ Establish road and Bridge data exchange system ◦ Integrate Road Asset Management System ◦ Develop Road Asset Management Plan Bridge management system Modernization
