Liberia 61-km Road Project Constructed by China Railway Seventh Group under China Railway Passes Preliminary Acceptance

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 10, the 61-km road project in Liberia's southeastern corridor, constructed by China Railway Seventh Group Co., Ltd. under China Railway Group Limited, passed preliminary handover acceptance. The project owner, the Infrastructure Implementation Unit (IIU) of Liberia's Ministry of Public Works, issued a preliminary acceptance certificate to the contractor. The owner, the consultant SARI Consulting, and the construction project department jointly confirmed that the completed works meet the contract requirements, that the main works have been substantially completed, and that the project has formally entered the defects liability period.

The project, with a total length of 61 km, was implemented under the Design-Build-Transfer (DBT) model and is an important component of the transportation trunk road rehabilitation project in Liberia's southeastern corridor. China Railway Seventh Group was responsible for the design and construction of the project. Through an integrated design and construction organization approach, the project linked engineering design with on-site construction, reducing waiting time between different construction processes.

During construction, the project team organized flow-line operations according to road construction procedures, sequentially carrying out site clearance, earthwork excavation and filling, graded crushed stone base course and asphalt surface course construction, and dynamically optimized the design scheme according to site conditions. The project also controlled the construction quality of the subgrade, base course and pavement by organizing construction by zones, refining the division of work at each work face and strengthening testing and inspection, advancing various engineering tasks within the suitable local construction windows.

According to the benefit estimates disclosed by the project owner, after the road is completed and opened to traffic, travel time along the southeastern corridor is expected to be shortened by about 90 minutes, benefiting approximately 111,000 people. The road improvement will alleviate the problem of blocked transportation of agricultural products and daily necessities along the route, providing smoother traffic conditions for regional freight and residents' travel.
