BACKGROUND General 1. Prior to the hostilities, the transport system of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) was organized to meet the needs of the former Yugoslavia.Inland transport was provided by a road system (including8,600 km of main and regionalroads). As with other sectors, the ability of the transport sector to function has been seriouslyaffected by the hostilities.Virtually all parts of the transport system have been damaged, either as a result of direct targeting, by the movementsof military vehicles on roads which were not designed to carry heavy traffic, or by lack of maintenanceand spare parts for more than four years. Scope of Emergency 2. Roads: The past four years of hostilitieshave affected the entire road network. Virtually no road maintenance has been carried out and this combined with military traffic has caused significant deterioration in road pavements. Roads either near or used as bypasses around shiftingconfrontation lines have sufferedthe most with some sections of regional and local roads now requiring complete reconstruction. Also roads used as deviations around downed bridges (e.g. around the Visoko bridge) are breaking up. While some sections of main roads show only superficial signs of apparent wear, they are well past due periodic maintenance and visible distress can be expected soon with a more rapid deteriorationsetting in quickly. While the entire network will need attention in the next five to seven years, about 28% of the main and regional network will require more immediate attention within the next three years to remedy both damage and the more severe effects of maintenance neglect. Damage estimates are based on visual surveys and, without neglecting immediate attention to urgent works, will be supplementedby technicalinvestigations to confirm or revise the proposed repair treatment. 3. Bridges: Bridges are prime strategic targets in military operations and, in the last four years, about 70 bridges have been damaged with about 25 of these made impassable.Many of these bridges are on main routes with the principal crossings now being maintained through makeshiftdeviations or single lane militarybridges. Although,for some impassablebridges, both part or all of the superstructure and, in some cases, piers and/or pier heads have been destroyed, many have the piers and abutments still standing and most reconstruction will be confined to replacement of the decks. Demolition of the damaged sections and downed decks will form a significant part of the reconstruction cost. Areas around and beneath some of the damaged bridges have been mined. 4. Sava/Una river bridges: All ten bridges (7 road, 2 road/rail and 1 rail) connecting the Republic of Croatia with BH across the Sava and Una rivers are now impassable. Some have been completelydestroyed while others have one or two spans cut. At least one of the destroyed Technical Annex p.2 of 26 bridges is still mined. While one or two ferries are operating and IFOR has constructed two pontoon bridges near Orasje, most road and all rail traffic is virtually cut off from the rest of Europe. 5. Construction and maintenance equipment: Many items of construction and maintenanceequipment were damaged, destroyed or purloined during the hostilities. Much of the remainderhas sufferedfrom neglect due to an inabilityto use the equipment or through lack of spare parts. Shortage of this equipmentnow severely hampers reconstruction of the transport system. Of particularlyhigh priority is the need for asphalt plants and quarries to supply material for the repair of both the road network and city streets. 6. Railways: The railway system was severely damaged and, within the Federation, with the exception of some minor lengths, is not functioning.Two bridges on the main line between Ploce and Sarajevo and one between Sarajevo and Zenica have been cut and equipment damaged or stolen. Some traction and rolling stock has also been damaged, but most is sitting in unknown condition, in isolated pockets. A US$8.6 million EU initiativeis underway to reopen the main trunk line between Sarajevo and Ploce for about two pairs of trains per day. In the RS, the line from Banja Luka west to Prijedor and to the east is functioningbut with light traffic and no connection outside RS. The EU and Germany are involved in the railway reconstruction program in a substantialway and it is suggested that they continue to take the lead in this sub- sector. IFOR is currentlyundertaking a detailed survey of the rail infrastructure. 7. Airports: The runway, taxiwaysand aprons at Sarajevo airport are severelycracked and most of the air traffic control equipment has been destroyed. In addition, most mobile equipment, the lighting system and airport buildings have also been damaged. The airport is operating but with military equipment and under the managementof IFOR. While UNPROFOR has carried out urgent maintenanceworks to the runway, taxiway and aprons, major repairs have been precluded by the proximity of the confrontation line. For the remainder of the airports, Banja Luka is said to be operational, Tuzla is operating as an IFOR base, and Bihac and Mostar are damaged and not in operation. 8. Ports: The port of Ploce,
