The rehabilitation, upgrading and reconstruction of priority transit roads in Bulgaria, totalling some 340 km.
In general, rehabilitation works of existing road infrastructures are not expected to generate substantial adverse impacts on the environment. Schemes of this type are therefore not subject to compulsory Environmental Impact Assessments, either under Bulgarian law (Environmental Protection Act, 1991 and Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment, 1995) or the Directive applicable in the EU Member Countries (EEC/335/85 and subsequent amendments). Assessment of the environmental risk for each scheme will be undertaken by the technical assistance consultants.
Procurement will take place in line with the Bank’s procedures.
