Implementation of reforms to follow shortly including assignment of the core management staff of the four reorganized entities –HP Public Works Department ( HPPWD) direct labor wing, HP Road and other Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. (HPRIDCL),Directorate of Transport & HP Motor Vehicle Administration (HPMVA). Preparatory works for the various priority studies has been initiated with the TOR under preparation. Component 2: Improving select roads stimulating HP’s horticultural and overall economic growth: Under Phase I three civil works contracts totaling 46.63 km are underway although progress has been slow mainly due to COVID-related restrictions , extreme weather conditions and pending land acquisition and forest clearances. Works are expected to pick up in the coming months and an acceleration plan is under preparation for all three contracts to complete works by October 2022. Under Phase II, out of three contracts, one contract totaling 2.7 km has been awarded 3/21/2022 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Himachal Pradesh State Roads Transformation Project (P163328) and remaining two contracts totaling 27.854 km are in advanced stage of procurement. DPRs & bidding documents for maintenance contracts are under preparation. Component 3: Enhancing Road Safety: The road safety advisory consultant which is a critical consultancy for the implementation of the road safety activities is on board and work progressing as per schedule. Three project districts have been shortlisted for the pilot phase and needs assessment for surveillance equipment has been completed.
