E1756 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized MITIGATION PLAN AND MONITORING PLAN FOR ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UKRAINE Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Introduction The main project development objective is to reduce road transport costs, and improve access and road safety along Ukraine’s main road network. Ukraine has potential to become an important transit country given its geographic location between Russia and other CIS1 states on the one hand and the EU market on the other. While European priority corridors are being improved using EU funds, it is crucial to complement this effort along corridors that are of domestic and regional importance, to get a maximum return on these major infrastructure investments. The proposed project focuses on rehabilitating a key national transport corridor between Boryspil and Lubny; a section of the M-3 express motorway Kiyv-Kharkiv-Dovzhansky linking industrial areas located in the eastern part of the country to the EU main road network. This project includes 3 main components: Component A: Road Rehabilitation of a 128 kilometer section (Borispil-Lubny) of the Kyiv-Kharkiv- Dovzhansky highway (M3), Component B: Road safety improvement, Component C: Capacity Building. The proposed Ukraine Roads and Safety Improvement Project is in full compliance with all environmental requirements of the Government of Ukraine and the World Bank. In accordance with the World Bank Environmental Assessment (EA) safeguard policy and procedures (OP/BP/GP 4.01) the project has been assigned Category B and an Environmental Management Plan is required. Environmental Management Plan includes following chapters: • Part A – Project Description • Part B – Mitigation Plan • Part C – Monitoring Plan • Part D – Description of Institutional Arrangements • Part E – Results of Public Consultations with all interested parties 1 Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was created in December 1991. At present the CIS unites: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. 2 .1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Component A: Road Rehabilitation of a 128 kilometer section (Borispil-Lubny) of the Kyiv-Kharkiv-Dovzhansky highway (M3). This component comprises civil works for the rehabilitation/strengthening of the existing 2x2 lanes M3 expressway (128 kilometer section), including safety measures for the vehicles (signaling, lighting in critical sections, crash barriers, etc) as well as the people living in its direct vicinity (pedestrian crossings, parking and special facilities where required). The M3 expressway plays a strategic role for the country’s integration with the EU network as well as a potential domestic and international transit corridor. The design features of the rehabilitation works will be evaluated vis a vis the expected traffic volumes and composition. Component B: Road safety improvement. The proposed project will include a significant program of black spot elimination (162 blackspots out of some 300 identified by Ukravtodor) and possible support to the recently established National Road Safety Council. In addition to the elimination of the most critical black spots identified by Ukravtodor, the project will also fund the supply and installation of safety improvements such as vertical and horizontal signaling, cats’ eyes, rumble strips and modern crash barriers on most critical points of the national road network. Component C: Capacity Building. The project could possibly include the funding of advisory services and equipment to: (a) initiate a pilot Public-Private Partnerships transaction in road infrastructure funding, (b) update the current road classification, (c) modernize technical norms (based on the Dutch Standards design for instance); and (d) monitor the quality of the road network using modern technology. 3 Part B: Mitigation Plan 4 B.
