Tripoli, 5 May 2014:

Approval has been given to the maintenance and resurfacing of some 32 major roads . . .[restrict]in Tripoli.  At its meeting last Wednesday, the cabinet gave permission to the Ministry of Housing and Utilities to enter into contracts for the works.

The plan, according to Abdulhakim Talha, Head of Tripoli Projects at Ministry of Housing and Utilities, is to award three-year contracts to companies that will then have the complete responsibility of maintaining particular roads. 

Such companies will have to demonstrate a sound knowledge of dealing with surface water and drainage, road planning, road cleaning and sweeping, road barriers, the means of reducing traffic speed, street lighting, road safety and security. They must also be able to respond straightway to any damage resulting from accidents and monitor road issues.

“We’ve decided to go back the policy that was used in 1960s to manage roads, and we’re happy to return to it,” said Talha.

Contracts, which can be extended, or in the case of poor performance, cancelled, will be given only to Libyan-owned or registered companies.

That, he said, would create new job opportunities for Libyans. Another plus is that the total maintenance contract would cut back on different authorities getting involved in maintenance, such as the Ministry of Electricity repairing street lights or the Water Ministry dealing with wastewater.

Tender documents would be issued soon, he added.

Costs are still to be worked out.

The appalling state of the Tripoli’s roads, among the worst of any capital in the world, has long been a matter of public ire. The problem dates back well before the revolution, but since then, none of the governments has tackled the issue on a major scale.

This is despite the fact that in July last year, the government had announced 48 road maintenance contracts.

The roads to be repaired in last week’s announcement are:

  1. From Sidi Mesri to the borders of Garabulli;
  2. Corniche Road, from Martyrs Square to the Heart Hospital in Tajoura;
  3. From Qadesia Square to Fornaj roundabout through Zanata Highway Road;
