Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Motorway Construction on E-75 and E80:(Cost $400.09 M) Road Safety:(Cost $2.27 M) Implementation Assistance and Institutional Support:(Cost $11.26 M) Front End Fee:(Cost $0.10 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions Main alignments on all sections are completed and sections are opened for traffic. Total length of newly built highway links financed from Bank loan proceeds is 47.7km. All 3 sections on E-75 are fully completed. Civil works on main alignment on Dimitrovgrad bypass section on E-80 (including bridges and additionally included interchange) are completed but the works are ongoing on Gradinje slope instability. All agreed road traffic safety measures near unstable slope are in place, thus allowing undisrupted traffic. The project's development objective continues to be achievable. The progress with implementing remedial measures on Gradinje slope at Dimitrovgrad Bypass, observed in late March 2018, was slow initially. It picked up after September 2018, and by the end of the year 2018, all necessary action to allow for full engagement on site have been implemented: (i) A deposit area for an additional 115 000 cubic meters of material has been secured; (ii) The detailed design documentation was issued; (iii) The 6/4/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report CORRIDOR X HIGHWAY PROJECT (P108005) hydraulic part of the design have been delivered; (iv) The safety measures for Gradinje slope that have been recommended during the last Mission in June 2018 are in place; and (v) pending environmental safeguard issues have been resolved. The team will continue close vigorous supervision of the progress of works on slope, in order to ensure that road safety conditions remain in place and that the works are completed by the project closing date. Road Sector Reform technical assistance is finished with mixed quality of outputs, requiring further analytical work and independent recommendations. The Road Safety strategy was adopted on February 9, 2015, and a corresponding gender-sensitive Road Safety Action Plan was adopted in December 2016. Compliance with financial management, procurement, environmental and social safeguards are acceptable and satisfactory.
