Conclusions and Recommendations: (1) Conclusions The project is technically and economically feasible and environmentally sound. Hence, it is justified to implement the Project for national and people’s benefits. The Project is comprised of 17 bridges construction including approach road, box-Culverts construction and axle load installation. Two types of bridges are constructed in the Project, namely, PC-I girder bridge, Nielsen Lohse bridge. Special steel, namely, SBHS (Steels for Bridge High Performance Structure) is applied for a part of Nielsen Lohse Bridge. (2) Recommendations Safety measures such as providing road marking, road hump, guardrails, etc. shall be considered in the detailed design. Detailed surveys for public utilities such as waterworks, telephone lines, power lines, etc. shall be conducted in the detailed design. The bridge and road design shall be conducted in consideration of that information. RHD shall undertake the tasks for the EIA and ARP during the entire project period in order to implement the Project successfully. Technical cooperation project of bridge maintenance under JICA is ongoing and will be updated operation and maintenance manual in 2016. It is recommended that the project bridge should be maintained according to the manual. SBHS (Steels for Bridge High Performance Structure) is applied for Nielsen Lohse Bridge, especially at the corner part which is subjected to high stress concentration and needs special care for joining. The more detail use of SBHS shall be studied in the detailed design. Preparatory Survey on the Cross-Border Road Network Improvement Project (Bangladesh) Final Report PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF BANGLADESH PREPARATORY SURVEY ON THE CROSS-BORDER ROAD NETWORK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (BANGLADESH) FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The South Asia region is actively undergoing a reform of economic liberalization. In particular, India and the People's Republic of Bangladesh (hereinafter referred to as “Bangladesh”) attract attention as markets of high economic potential. With a population of approximately 1.7 billion, the region is expected to reach the demographic dividend period, and undergo further growth through expansion of domestic demand. On the other hand, intra-regional trade volume of the region is remaining low, at only 3% of total trade (in 2012). A big issue is the maintenance of transportation infrastructure that connects each region. Also, “Bangladesh” is surrounded by countries such as India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan, and hence is vital in connecting each of these countries. Thus, the maintenance of transportation infrastructure in “Bangladesh” through JICA assistance is expected to contribute to the economic development and stabilization of not just the country, but also the surrounding region. Road transport accounts for around 70% of domestic transportation in “Bangladesh”, and multiple international corridors such as the Asian Highway pass through the country. However, in many sectors, in addition to the inefficiency of customs and border procedures, international corridors are not functioning sufficiently because of deterioration of aged roads and bridges in domestic and border areas. Therefore, regional transit traffic planning based on several regional cooperation frameworks in the region was formulated and maintenance of both soft and hard infrastructure is underway. In the 6th Five Year Plan of “Bangladesh”, creation of a modernized and efficient road transportation system was declared in the highway sector. Though there are road and bridge maintenance projects underway, these are unable to sufficiently deal with the problem due to budget and technical limitations. Based on this background, the Government of Bangladesh (hereinafter referred to as GOB) requested loan assistance from the Government of Japan for the maintenance of main international highways and connecting roads. 1.2 Objectives of the Survey As GOB is requesting a Japanese ODA Loan for the Cross-Border Road Network Improvement Project (Bangladesh) (hereinafter referred to as “CBRNIP”), the objective of this preparatory survey is Executive Summary - 1 Preparatory Survey on the Cross-Border Road Network Improvement Project (Bangladesh) Final Report to obtain all the data and information required for appraisal of a loan project of Japanese ODA as well as to execute the Project, such as defining the project objectives and preparing a project summary, project cost, implementation structure, implementation schedule, implementation method (procurement, construction), implementation plan, operation and maintenance plan, environment and social considerations, etc. 2. EXISTING ROAD NETWOK AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS 2.1 Problems and Issues of Existing Roads and Bridges in Bangladesh 2.1.1 Existing Conditions of Roads in Bangladesh (1) Road Network The road network consists of six road categories: National Highways, Regional Highways, Zilla Roads, Upazila Roads, Union Roads and Village Roads. The Roads and Highways Department (RHD), under the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges (MORTB), manages 21,302 km of roads including National Highways, Regional Highways and Zilla Roads. The total road length managed by RHD makes up 6.5% of the total road network in Bangladesh. (2) Road Condition The road condition can be grossly categorized into descriptive bands based on roughness. To make understand on roughness, RHD conducted a road condition survey in 2012 on about 13,000 km of road. It was observed that the roughness is in increasing trend regardless of road class until 2010. Then, in the period of 2011-2012, National Highway roughness has decreased from IRI 6.05 to 5.24, Regional Highway roughness has increased from IRI 3.47 to 6.38 and Zilla Road roughness has decreased from 8.41 to 7.87 indicating an overall improvement of the road network. 2.1.2 Bridge Condition The number of structures on RHD road network has been increased
