PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PIP FOR THE IBRD ASSISTED WESTERN INDONESIA NATIONAL ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
WINRIP
1. THE PROJECT
1.1 Background
The Government of Indonesia wishes to continue the strengthening of the National Road system in Indonesia. The Western Indonesia National Road Improvement Project WINRIP
will support a program of National road and bridge improvement works in the Sumatra region of Indonesia. The focus of WINRIP will be roads administered directly by the National
Government, including those currently classified as Provincial, Kabupaten District or non- status roads and which are in process of being reclassified as National roads. This network
totals some 10,000 km in length. In addition, provision will be made for major bridge repair works, rehabilitation, duplication and replacement as necessary to complement the road
betterment works.
The Eastern Indonesia National Roads Improvement Project EINRIP assisted by AusAID through the Australian Indonesia Partnership AIP, is providing similar support for National
Roads in Eastern Indonesia.
1.2 Project Objectives
The main objective of the program will be to increase the effective use of selected sections of National roads along the Western Sumatra Corridor by reducing road user costs,
through improv ing
the National road network especially in 4 four Provinces of Sumatra North Sumatera, West Sumatera, Bengkulu and Lampung and, where desirable, raise the
road standard to that set by the Directorate General of Highways. This will contribute significantly to ensuring that the National road network in the region provides acceptable
standards of service and accessibility, and is capable of supporting local and regional economic development.
1.3 Project Content and Timing
The works to be supported under the IBRD assisted component of WINRIP concentrate mainly on road betterment, road capacity expansion, and bridge replacement repair or
duplication for that part of the National network located along the Western corridor of Sumatera
During preparation of the Project, consideration was given to the need for developing the main road corridors, particularly those parts which are in poor condition or below target
standard in terms of geometry. Thus the following works needs were identified: • Betterment treatments including minor widening,
• Bridge replacement, duplication, rehabilitation, widening or major repair as required for
bridges associated with road links for which betterment treatments have been identified or otherwise are of high priority,
• A limited number of capacity expansion ‘CAPEX’ projects.
