1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Information on D/Markos Road Network
Road infrastructures play a key prominence in the social and economic wellbeing of a society. Thus
the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has launched Road Sector Development Program
(RSDP) to enhance development objectives and the living standard of the population all over the
country.
Accordingly, Ethiopian Roads Authority (ERA), on behalf of the Federal Democratic Republic of
Ethiopia (FDRE), is implementing various strategies whereby to expand the Roads Network all over
the country and also to preserve the road asset simultaneously.
ERA is responsible for the expansion and preservation of the federal road network so as to play its
vital role in supporting the socio-economic development of the country. To this effect, the Authority
has established ten (10) Network and safety Management Branch directorates which strive to
geographically manage and preserve the road assets assigned to them, under the Road Asset
Management DDG. Of which, D/Markos road network and Safety Management Branch Directorate
is, thus, one of these branches undertaking the road maintenance works.
The Road Network is found in North Western part of Ethiopia particularly in parts of Amhara and
Benshangul Gumuz National Regional States. Total road network length is 1658 km, of which, 769
km asphalt and 889 km gravel roads and the remaining 237 km is under up grading.
The directorate office is located 292 km due North West of A.A along A3 trunk road, in Debre
Markos town, the major town of East Gojjam zone, with surplus agricultural productive areas of the
country.

The contractor that undertakes maintenance works in 2013EFY is D/Markos Own Force Road
Maintenance District (OFRMD). The district has established four road maintenance sections for
ease of operations. i.e Dejen, Chagni, Bure and Bahir Dar sections. In all sections representatives
are assigned on the side of D/Markos Road Network & safety Management Branch Directorate.
The entire road network is classified into five major classes based on ERA’s Road classification
system, as shown under the table:
A 72 177 80 329
C 26 337 363
1.3 Climate
The area where the road network stretches is characterized by all types of climatic conditions.
During the rainy seasons/June-September/ it has high intensity of rainfall up to 1400 mm near the
highland area and descends to 300mm around lowlands.
1.4 Topography
D/Markos road network is located in the western highlands and the outer lowlands with an altitude
of 4100mts and 530mts above sea level respectively.
1.5 Terrain
The large portion of the network lies on flat and rolling terrain and the rest small portion pass
through hilly and mountainous terrain.

Potential development areas such as cash crop and mining areas, sugar plantation
development and hydroelectric power stations.
Generally the D/Markos Road network plays its role in supporting the socio-economic
development of the locality and the country as a whole.

The sop of works will be undertaken by the maintenance contractor is as per ERA 2003
Technical specification recommendation for each activity under it. In case of activities not
included in it, like activities to the construction scope, those activities accomplished as per the
latest ERA construction manual, 2013 manual. So the contractor must achieve at least the main
specified qualities of each activity under the above listed manuals.
Accordingly each activities accomplished by the contractor will be reported with re respective
amount in the reporting month. Activities can be road repair, road safety works, bridge and
culvert maintenance, construction of the remaining works under Tik Weigh Bridge and Yetnora
and Wojel Approach road reconstruction works.
This progress report provides general information on maintenance activities during the month,
and the purpose of the report is to provide the employer and other stakeholders with the
following basic benefits.
A summary of activities performed within the months
Detailed description on the progress of planned and actual activities.
A summary of detailed serious issues which affect the outcome of maintenance projects

General
Before the 2013 budget start, the Road Network and Safety Management Branch Directorate
have proposed a number of maintenance projects in its network. Accordingly, but not to the
proposed amount, all of the routine projects are funded by the Road Fund, while the rest is
covered under capital projects.
The maintenance projects planned to be undertaken by the contractor, D/Markos Own Force
Road Maintenance District, include Routine maintenance, one Heavy/capital maintenance
project and Tik Weigh Bridge remaining work.
Projects in 2013EFY under Own force maintenance district are tabulated as follows;

During the fiscal year, the projects intended to maintain are Dejen section, Burie section, Bahar
Dar section and Chagni Section works. The fiscal and financial plans for these projects, which
are scheduled to operate on a Routine maintenance program during the fiscal year, are
summarized below.

responsibility under the directorate. The team exerts its maximum effort and performs the
services with the highest professional standard during the reporting month. However, the
proclamation issue for land displacement triggered his work and the overall maintenance work
also affected by this issue.
The maintenance district’s laboratory is functional. Accordingly, different tests for soil &
aggregate (excluding bituminous works) can carried out jointly when required. In the reporting
month the sub base material quarry sites are taken and are on the way of testing them. However,
the bituminous material test laboratory has not been established so far.
Source of materials (Borrow areas, quarry sites, sand and other construction material) required
for whole project are not yet finalized. However, we have carrying out the maintenance works
using the previously developed quarry sites and some of the newly developed ones.
In the reporting month all projects, Dejen, Bure, Bahirdar and Chagni section works planned to
be performed by the contractor were visited by the, team leaders and respective engineers as
well.
Accordingly the maintenance works executed and its progress against the program in the
respective sections are evaluated properly and summarized in the next topic.

Area 1
Lack of machinery & equipment, in number and capacity, of the contractor for the
maintenance works of paved roads.
Spread of COVID-19 faced slow rate of progress
ROW problems faced on quarry material locations.
Environmental, Social and Safety measures at borrow area and work site are not properly
adopted.
We have faced underperformance material on site in due of lack and/ or precision of
laboratory equipment for test.
Problems related to the ownership of property for material production.
4.2 Solutions undertaken
As a solution of the above mentioned problems: the following are recommended
As per request, we have checked and forwarded to the concerned body for further
action to solve the ROW issues.
We are insisting the fulfilling and calibration of laboratory equipments

6. Work Order
In the reporting month, challenging the existing above listed problems and working in close
cooperation with the employer and contractor we have performed 90% of the month’s plan. However
when we come to project wise evaluation of the month’s performance, only Dejen section project can
accomplish his plan.
So for the future, we had to work hard and cover as much as possible the project wise plans of each
reporting month. However, the machinery and manpower, like mason, and construction material input
problems has to be solved in conjuncture.
7.2 Recommendations
A due solution has to be putted for those main problems faced on this reporting year to make the
progress effective for the subsequent months of fiscal year. Afterward;
Supplying (mobilize) effective resources and establishing with a number of proper crews
Make better management system on the site.
The ROW issues should be solved prior to the start-up of maintenance activities (before the
maintenance resources have been mobilized).
Establishing the Steering Committee as a matter of urgency by considering the criticality of
the ROW matter on the good governance and the overall performance of the project.
Realistic resources schedule and updating every time as it is required on the fiscal year.
