PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND PROJECT DESCRIPTIONObjectives and Purpose of the ProjectThe project road of 16km will provide the continuity of four lanes from Baku to Shamakhi. Accordingly, by the road will be supportive of the objectives of the entire Baku-Shamakhi road which are as follow: Reduce road transport costs for road users Improve access and transit throughout the entire road Enhance safety within Azerbaijan’s east-west corridor, through the implementation of a number of subprojects Better road quality and better safety through new alignments Lower travel costs and a shorter travel time. In addition, as mentioned in the IRD-EIA, the other recognized objectives are as follows to boost the national and regional economy, supporting the swap of goods with neighbour countries and creating temporary and employment opportunities; to further the introduction of international standards in the transport sector of Azerbaijan and thus generally support the Country in westernizing process The four-laning of the entire Baku-Shamakhi road is expected to result to economic growth for Azerbaijan is as a consequence of higher returns on investments through the marked growth of the traffic, increase in speed, and subsequent decrease in travel time with the better road infrastructure. In general, the enhanced east-west connections will foster economic integration and growth within the country, particularly the non-oil growth, leading to a degree of economic diversification. Project Works DescriptionFrom the existing two-lane Category II road, the segment Km 91-107 of the Baku-Shamakhi highway shall be reconstructed into four-lane to connect to the existing four-lane road (km 45-91) and the redesigned four-lane up to Shamakhi. In the AHP III: Preliminary Design Report (March 2015) by Dohwa Engineering Co., LTD., the road segment is designated as Section 4-1: km 91 to km 105. The redesign for widening/upgrading or new alignment solutions for Section 4-1- km 91 to km 105 (revised to 107) considered the following: Substantial slope stability issues; Mountainous terrain; Physical constraints such as built up areas (e.g. Sabir village, etc.); A number of side roads; Rolling terrain The geometric design follows the following design criteria based on the SNIP.

The road construction will also include drainage, cross-pipes and culverts along with relocation of underground and above ground utility lines. Generally, the construction will be within the designated ROW. Indirect impact can extend even beyond the 60 ROW mainly due to social environmental characteristics of the project area. Figure 2: Road Cross-Section In addition to the four-laning of the roadway, the pavement within the km 91-107 shall be strengthened based on a new design. The pavement strengthening shall entail a new structural pavement design based on new parameters adopted to strengthen the road pavement in anticipation of heavier loadings. Because of this, the road pavement of the 16km section will be rebuilt to conform to the new design parameters. Changes in thicknesses in the New Project Design were introduced by the design engineers. In the construction, this will be implemented by scarifying the pavement structure up to embankment layer and onto which the new design project design. The design modification is shown on the table below and depicted on the subsequent schematics. Table 6: Road Design Modification
