Aspects environnementaux

The project consists in the modernisation of existing 2x1 regional roads without increasing the number of lanes and therefore it falls under Annex II of the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU where the competent authority decides on the requirement for a full EIA, including public consultation. In the present case, there are 14 schemes included in the project and all them have been screened in due to the relative proximity of environmentally sensitive areas and the possibility that the widening of some road sections could affect them. Full EIAs have been carried out; full details will be checked during appraisal. Seven schemes form the northern road modernisation programme and seven are part of the south-western one. Both programmes have an Individual SEA (Strategic Environmental Assessment) approved in 2010. The applicability of EIA Directive 2011/92/EU, SEA directive 2001/42/EC, Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC and Birds Directive 79/409/EEC will be reviewed at appraisal.
