According to the bank website, "the Karnataka State Highways Improvement III Project (KSHIP III) will improve about 418 kilometers (km) of state highways in the state of Karnataka, in line with the state''s core road network (CRN) development plan. It will involve upgrading of identified state highways to two- and four-lane with paved shoulders, depending on traffic requirements, and reconstruction, widening, and strengthening of culverts and bridges. Contracts will be based on a hybrid-annuity model with a 7-year annuity period, post-construction. The project will carry out a road safety audit to identify critical accident spots across state highways on the CRN, and implement suitable measures to improve these accident spots. The project will also strengthen institutional capacity and efficiency in Karnataka Public Works, Ports, and Inland Water Transport Department (KPWD)."

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB
The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
