ConclusionConclusion• Go for planned maintenance with sufficient
budget (allocation planning procurement)budget (allocation, planning, procurement).• Coordinate and collaborate with respective
k h ldstakeholders Construct engineered roads only
LRN maintenance should be technically feasible, economically viable and socially acceptableeconomically viable and socially acceptable
