Environmental impact assessment

Project description
and objectives:

The proposed project entails:

(i) construction of a new road, Banja Luka to Gradiska, to provide connection to neighbouring Croatia and to the Pan-European Corridor X. The project will consist of a 29 km new road from Laktasi (Airport) to Gradiska.

(ii) construction of Sarajevo Bypass, forming part of the Pan-European Corridor Vc. The project will consist of a four lane by-pass from Josanica to Butila, a two lane by-pass from Butila to Blazuj, a four lane link to Sarajevo city center (Butila—Brijesce-Safeta Zajke Street) and upgrade of Brijesce –Stup street.

The objectives of this project comprise: parallel financing of these important regional roads links; strengthening of State institutions to enhance the 'single economic space', improving the functioning of road sector organisations and ensuring availability of funds for road operation and maintenance.

The transition impact of the project will be achieved through improvements to road sector financing, increased commercialisation of road administration and management and regulatory and institutional reform.
