Completion of Ludab Road Project Depends on Securing Funding

Yasuj – The head of the Boyer-Ahmad Road Maintenance and Road Transport Department said the Ludab road project, despite progress in implementation, faces funding challenges due to budget limitations and unpaid contractor dues.

Yasuj- The head of Boyer Ahmad Road Administration and Road Transport said: Despite the progress of implementation operations, the Lodab road construction project is facing a funding problem due to limited credits and non-payment of the contractor's claims.

According to Mehr reporter, Mehran Masoudi, Head of Road and Road Transport Department of Boyer Ahmad city, on Monday evening on the sidelines of his visit to Lodab section, referring to the implementation process of one of the road construction projects in this section, stated: Executive operations have been carried out along two kilometers of the road and the project is in the implementation stage.

Referring to the existence of some technical obstacles on the way, he added: The issue of the gas pipeline crossing the project route is being followed up with expert planning and design, and we hope that this problem will also be resolved.

The head of the Department of Highways and Road Transport of Boyar Ahmad city considered the most important problem of the project to be the limitation of financial resources and said: the contractor has settled in the project and is carrying out the executive operations, but he has not been paid in cash so far.

Masoudi stated that about 750 million Tomans of credit has been allocated to the project in the form of bonds, and demanded more support to secure financial resources and accelerate its completion.

The head of the Department of Roads and Road Transport of Boyar Ahmad emphasized the necessity of prioritizing road construction projects in different areas of the city and stated: Roads are one of the main axes of development and the completion of communication routes can play an effective role in facilitating the movement of people and the prosperity of economic activities in rural areas.

Referring to the agricultural capacities of Lodab region, Masoudi continued: Considering the agricultural activities and the existence of rice fields in some areas, the completion of this route can be effective as a shortcut in facilitating the access of people and moving agricultural products.

Referring to the experience of the project contractor, he pointed out: the contractor is one of the experienced forces in the field of road construction, and we hope that with the continuation of support and providing the required credit, the project will be completed and used.
