Monitoring and Evaluation of Low Volume Road Trial Sections in Ethiopia: Second Monitoring Report

Details about the general site description and location of the 4 trail section projects, pavement structure types and section descriptions

Abstract

The Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) through the Roads Research Centre (RRC) of the Ethiopian Roads Authority (ERA) has constructed research sections with the aim of obtaining data that will assist in the rapid expansion of the sealed low-volume roads network. As part of this process the constructed trial sections require periodic monitoring and evaluation.

The main objective of this report is to present the second monitoring and evaluation of the demonstration/research trials with particular reference given to the monitoring activities undertaken, the status and conditions of the trial section together with current measurements. The report provides details about the general site description and location of the 4 trail section projects, pavement structure types and section descriptions. The report also consists of a brief discussion about the works performed and their indications and analysis and outcomes of the pavement evaluation performed during the monitoring period.

This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
