Upgrade of Ain Octor-Korbous RR128 Road, Drainage and Reinforcement of Korbous-Ain Elfakroun-Ain Elatrous Section, and Safeguard against Rock Falls in Nabeul Region

Description

Since 2001, the RR128 road linking Ain Octor to Korbous has been closed to traffic due to landslides, dismantling, failure and gradual collapse of the buttresses of the stone trap wall supports. The planned landscaping for the road to Korbous should restore an identity link with the region and articulate a better tourism approach for the region. The first phase of the project is a preliminary study which consists of the assessment of the road under study and the proposal of preliminary options for the restoration of RR128 between Ain Octor and Korbous, drainage and reinforcement of the Korbous-Ain Elfakroun-Ain Elatrous road, safeguarding these two road sections against rock falls, and protecting sea-side against swell. The preliminary design phase consists of presenting possible options of technical and economic solutions after conducting additional field works.
