1. INTRODUCTION Total lenght of main and regional roads in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereinafter FBIH) is around 4.748 km, among which main roads are 2024 km and regional roads 2.724 km. The main roads are administrated and managed by JP Direkcija cesta Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine (hereinafter JP DC FBiH) and regional roads by the Road Directorates or relevant ministry at the cantonal level. Road management responsibilities have been established by the Law on Roads of FBiH («Official Gazette of FBiH, no 6/02). In the period 1996-2003 godina significant rehabilitation works on priority roads and bridges in FBIH have been achieved through the internationally financed projects. Survey of main and regional roads conditions conducted in 2004 indicated that still significant part of the road network in FBIH is in poor conditions. Rehabilitation of the important main and regional roads has high priority taking into consideration improvement of the level of service for road users, adjustment to the socio-economic development and improvement of the road safety. The main road network analyze, based on the roads, bridges and tunnels date bank in FBiH, has been conducted and work programme priorities has been established by the HDM-4. Rehabilitation cost for 1.184 km of the main road network, in other words 109 road sections is estimated in the amount of 80 mil. EUR in the period 2007-2011. Roads and bridge rehabilitation is going to be financed out by the loans provided from World Bank (WB), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and European Investment Bank (EIB). Therefore, rehabilitation of 15 road sections and 7 bridges and viaducts on the main road network are proposed to be financed out from WB fund. 2. OBJECTIVES The main objective of the Environmental Management Plan (hereinafter EMP) is establishment mitigation measures for adverse environmental impacts and environmental monitoring measures during road rehabilitation works in order to prevent/reduce either direct or indirect impacts of the project on the inhabitants, flora and fauna, water, air, soil, climate, landscape, cultural heritage and material goods. 3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The main and regional roads conditions survey has been carried out in 2004 as important input for road, bridges and tunnels date base establishment. Survey indicated that still significant part of the road network in FBiH is in poor conditions and damages were identified on numerous main road sections in FBiH. 2
The following types of damages were identified and entered in the road, bridges and tunnels date base: - Longitudinal and Cross Cracking; - Network (alligator) Cracking; - Potholes and Patches; - Rutting; - Raveling; - Aggregate grains dissipation; - Bleeding; - Edge cracking; and - Deformations. Pavement damages cause: - Decrease of the service level for road users; - Decrease of the riding speed and quality; - Increase of the travel time for passengers and goods; - Decrease of the traffic safety; - Increase of the road user costs; and - Increase of the maintenance costs. Taking into consideration current conditions of the main road network and consequences of this situation, this calls for rehabilitation of certain sections on main roads. Rehabilitation includes works necessary for recovery destructed or damaged road sections in the previous state. Rehabilitation works doesn t change the conditions previously set up through urban planning and construction permits, in other words works are within road side. Detailed design for rehabilitation will be made in accordance with Construction Design on which the construction permit has been obtained previously. Rehabilitation works on the roads and bridges to be funded out by WB comprise mainly the following: - Pavement overlaying, - Drainage rehabilitation, - Slope rehabilitation, - Rehabilitation of possible settlings and landslides, and - Improvements of the road safety. Rehabilitation works on the roads and bridges will support higher level of service for road users at present as well as the future traffic condition in FBiH. 4.
