Project: Urban Road Rehabilitation and Improvement (Pothole Patching & Overlay – Phase II)

Client: Ministry of Public Works (MPW) / Liberia Urban Resilience Project (LURP)
Implementing Partner: BK Enterprise Inc.
Reporting Period: November 1–30, 2025

📌 Project Overview

The Liberia Urban Resilience Project (LURP), financed by the World Bank and implemented by the Government of Liberia, aims to strengthen climate-resilient urban infrastructure in Greater Monrovia. Under Phase II of the Urban Road Rehabilitation initiative, BK Enterprise Inc. is executing drainage cleaning, pothole patching, rigid pavement repairs, and asphalt overlay works across Central Monrovia and Caldwell to improve mobility, road safety, and environmental resilience.

🚧 Key Activities Implemented – November 2025

• Completed drainage cleaning along major corridors including Newport Street, Buzzy Quarter, and UN Drive (299.92m cumulative)
• Ongoing cutting, excavation, and removal of damaged asphalt and concrete at key intersections (Benson, Lynch, Center, Buchanan, Gurley, UN Drive)
• Completed mass concrete casting works at Benson & Lynch, Benson & Center, and Conex Headquarters sections
• Solid waste collection and disposal conducted at Whein Town Landfill in compliance with environmental standards
• Erection and maintenance of traffic signage, barricades, and project signboards across active work zones
• Community sensitization and stakeholder engagement conducted prior to and during construction activities

🌍 Environmental & Social Benefits

Drainage cleaning and pothole patching activities significantly reduced flood risks, improved urban water flow, enhanced road safety, and minimized environmental pollution. The works contributed to improved public health, safer mobility, reduced vehicle operating costs, and short-term employment opportunities for local communities.

🦺 Health, Safety & Environmental Performance

• Zero major incidents recorded during the reporting period
• 100% compliance with PPE requirements across all work sites
• Regular toolbox talks conducted covering safety, emergency response, and environmental awareness
• Hazardous areas effectively barricaded with clear safety and traffic signage

⚠️ Challenges & Mitigation Measures

• Restricted access to some drainage structures due to welded rebars and small-diameter pipes
• Misuse of drainage manholes for sewage disposal affecting cleaning operations
• Frequent rainfall impacting earthworks and concrete placement schedules
• Waste re-entry into cleaned drains due to improper disposal by road users

➡️ Next Steps

• Engagement with MPW and utility providers to address access constraints and buried services
• Continuation of drainage cleaning, pothole patching, and pavement rehabilitation works
• Strengthening public awareness on proper waste disposal and drainage protection
• Enhanced site security using stronger barricades to protect completed works
