Summary sheet
Madrid, Infraestructuras del Transporte (MINTRA)
Extension of existing metro lines for a total of 7.8 km and construction of new stations.
The project will contribute to improvements in Madrid’s public transport system by facilitating access to the city centre and increasing service capacity, reliability, frequency and comfort.
The project falls under Annex II of Directive 97/11/EC, under which the national authorities decide on the need for an Environmental Impact Assessment on a case-by-case basis. Specific environmental procedures and measures for each project will be checked during appraisal. Apart from the temporary disturbance for residents during construction, the project should have positive effects on the environment, particularly in view of the improvement in the quality of the urban environment due to the reduction in car traffic and the increased supply of public transport services.
Procurement procedures applied by the promoter are in compliance with EU Directives applicable to public authorities’ procurement, and national legislation. Under these conditions, the procurement procedures followed by the promoter are both suitable for the project and satisfactory to the Bank.
