1- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. Introduction

The Government of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste (GoTL) received a credit from the
World Bank (WB). The World Bank will finance the Timor-Leste Branch Roads Project (TLBRP) to
improve the Gleno – Maubisse corridor. TLBRP, funded by IDA Credit Number 6488TL, became
effective on 26 January 2021 and will continue until end of 2025.

The Road Section Contract Package 2 (CP-2) (Km11+900 to Km30+307.88) consists of a section
of 18.50Km connecting Hatubuilico to Letefoho. The physical work for upgrading CP-2 will include:
(i) Construction of reinforcement of slope stabilization structure; (ii) improvement of drainage
structure to meet forecasted rainfall volumes and intensities; (iii) pavement reconstruction with
selective widening. Performance Based Maintenance (PMB) will be carried out upon termination of
the Defect Notification Period (DNP) and will comprise the activities necessary for keeping the road
in compliance with the performance standards and service level. The maintenance works cover the
pavements, other structure, shoulder, drainage, traffic services, health and safety, vegetation
control, slope protection and slides removal.

2. PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Hatubuilico – Letefoho branch roads play an important role for central Timor-Leste, linking its
east to its west, while also serving transit traffic along the project road and on connections to the
Dili-Ainaro (improved under the ongoing World Bank-funded Timor-Leste Road Climate Resilience
Project) and the Gleno-Tibar corridors. The Gleno-Maubisse corridor starts at the city of Gleno,
passes through the towns of Ermera, Letefoho, Hatubuilico, and Aituto and ends at the town of
Maubisse. Gleno is a city 30 Km to the Southwest of Dili and is the capital of the municipality of
Ermera. Maubisse is a historic town in the hills 70 km south of Dili, in Ainaro District. It is popular
tourist destination and a weekend visiting spot for people from the capital. Agricultural activities are
evident along the corridor. The Ermera district concentrates particularly coffee producers. The
Hatubuilico town is on the route to Timor-Leste top tourist destination, Mount Ramelau. GoTL,
anticipates that in addition to the main goal of enhancing connectivity in the project areas, the
project would help develop the agricultural and tourism sectors by improving road access
specifically to the country highest coffee producing areas and tourist destinations.

2- Construction’s Activities

2.1- Progress:

The road project was awarded to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC)-
China with contract duration of 22 months equivalent to 669 calendar days. The Notice to
Commence of the Contract Project was July 01, 2023, and the completion date will be on April 30,
2025. The construction cost is $25,540,405.33.

During the month the Contractor’s construction activities was in progress as mentioned hereunder.

Work Schedule is no longer workable, and the Contractor is instructed to increase its manpower and
resources to complete the Work on the target completion date of 30 April 2025. It may be noted this
month progress has mostly come from the work of Materials Procurement, construction of Engineer’s
Facilities under Section 100, which is not part of the Permanent Works. The Contractor has also started
Cutting of Trees.
