I'm not sure I understand what you exactly are trying to do.
You can use mkdir -p <directory tree> to create the whole tree in one go
e.g.:
folder=${project_root}/local/pub/etc
mkdir -p $folder

Description
       Use the command to display the full pathname of the specified folder.  If you do not specify a folder, displays the pathname of the current

       If you specify a message with its message number, displays the pathname of the specified message.  You can also specify a  number  of  mes-
       sages,  or  a range of messages.  If the top of the range that you specify is greater than the last message in the folder, displays as much
       of the specified range as possible.

       Additionally can take a keyword or a sequence name.  The following keywords are acceptable:

       first	 The first message in the folder.

       last	 The last message in the folder.
