The project is still under construction with the second phase in progress. Approximately 18 800 m² of the total of 62 000 m² street network has been completed to date. Some site problems encountered with construction of the UTRCP are discussed. In conclusion, it is emphasized that UTRCP is a sustainable technique for road construction, which is not only economical, but will create work opportunities. en_US
