Construction of a 2x2 lane viaduct of about 2070 m and its connections to the urban network of the city of Bizerte
The project rationale is to reduce traffic congestion in the city centre of Bizerte, Tunisia's third-largest city.
If the project was located within the EU, it would fall under Annex I of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU and would require full EIA and public consultation. Two full EIA procedures with public consultations for the different components of the project have been done according to Tunisian national legislation. The Bank shall investigate environmental and social (E&S) aspects and verify that the promoter has followed the relevant EU environmental and social principles, standards and practices.
The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that implementation of the project will be done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
This operation is covered by the EU Guarantee for EIB loans outside the EU.
