The widening is necessary to develop National Highway corridors where traffic intensity has increased significantly and there is a requirement of augmentation of capacity for safe and efficient movement of traffic. The Lucknow - Ayodhya section of East - West corridor is a part of contract package C-III/3 stretches, which starts from km 8.250 to km 122.275 on NH-28 then 15 km on Faizabad bypass, which is funded by World Bank. The project is being prepared for implementation under the Phase-III program. The Figure 1.1 is showing the project stretch of the road. The Lucknow- Ayodhya section of NH 28 is divided into three construction packages, which is described below in Table 1.1. I Table 1.1.

This project involves over all land acquisition more than 20 m, moreover, this section has two new bypasses, which passes through agricultural land and involve major land acquisitions. Further more, the cost of the project is also above 100 cores. Therefore, the detailed design of the entire Lucknow-Ayodhya stretch (including Package III section) have been closely coordinated with Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Social Impact Study as per the requirement of the EIA notification (1994) of Ministry of Environment and Forests | (MoEF) issued under the Environment Protection Act, 1986. Since the proposed four laning of Lucknow- Ayodhya stretch of NH-28 project is being funded through loan from the World Bank, Environmental Impact Assessment was also a requirement of World Bank Operative Directive - 4.01. Along with the EA/SA, a consolidated Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and separate Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan including Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) are also required. The project has been categorized as category 'A' project, due to its cumulative magnitude of environmental and social impacts. In accordance with the requirement of 'category A' project of the World Bank, an independent review of the Environmental and Social Assessments, EMP and RAP has also been carried out to address the gaps and deficiencies in those documents. This EMP is finalized based on the outcome of the reviewed EA report. There is a generic EMP, where common management plan applicable for all the construction packages has been given, in addition, this specific EMP has been prepared to give specific environment management measures for each distinctive issues of package-III. 3 1.4 Environmental Clearances The project would require total statutory clearances from Government of India and Government of Uttar Pradesh.
