The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded the prime construction contract for completion of the Aceh West Coast Highway project to a partnership between a South Korean firm and an Indonesian firm in a press conference held at the Raba River Bridge outside Banda Aceh.
3 July 2006 The United States Agency for International Development held a pre-bid meeting on Wednesday June 28, 2006 for the primary contract to construct the 240 km Banda Aceh to Meulaboh road. Close to 20 firms attended the meeting. Bidding will last until July 21st.
The 2004 tsunami mounted devastation upon a region that had already suffered thirty years of armed conflict. The USAID funded Aceh Road/Bridge Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Project Team is therefore working in an environment of limited infrastructure on every level; physical, economic, governmental and social.
