PROJECT OVERVIEW

Pakhtunkhwa Highways Authority (PKHA), the custodian of 2500 km long Provincial Highway
Network, through Road Asset Management (RAM) study conducted in 2013, identified some 300km
long candidate roads in the province to be rehabilitated under the ADB ASSISTED PROVINCIAL
ROADS REHABILITATION PROJECT (PRRP). The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa approved
the Concept Paper of the scheme with the condition that the PKHA will carry out the detailed design
from its own resources.

This Project Road (a section of Provincial Highway S-1), has a staggering traffic count of 15,300 VPD.
The traffic capacity analysis of existing road revealed that the present two lane provincial highway is
insufficient for catering existing traffic flow and hence its expansion is inevitable to accommodate
future stream of traffic due to rapid population growth coupled with economic, educational and
commercial activities in the regional neighboring districts. Dualization of Mardan- Swabi road will not
only improve the traffic flow but will also reduce number of accidents as both sides of the road are
densely populated.

In addition to dualization, Mardan-Swabi road will also serve as a feeder road for vehicles going and
coming from Mardan and Swabi to Swat valley through the Swat Expressway with interchange at
Ismaila crossing the project road. The under construction Expressway forms part of an Economic
Trade Corridor initiating from Kernal Sher Khan Interchange at M-1 Motorway and terminating at
Chakdara at the junction of National Highways N-45 and N-95. Hence dualization to four-lane (2x2)
road of 42km long Mardan-Swabi Road will be a significant step towards accomplishing far reaching
results in improving the livelihood of people of the area.

QUALITY STANDARDS

The National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS), 2000,

Specify the following standards:

• Maximum allowable concentration of pollutants (32 parameters) in municipal and liquid industrial
effluents discharged to inland waters, sewage treatment facilities, and the sea (three separate sets of
numbers);

• Maximum allowable concentration of pollutants (16 parameters) in gaseous emissions from

industrial sources;

• Maximum allowable concentration of pollutants (two parameters) in gaseous emissions from vehicle
exhaust and noise emission from vehicles;

• Maximum allowable noise levels from vehicles; These standards apply to the gaseous emissions
and liquid effluents discharged by batching plants, campsites and construction machinery. The
standards for vehicles will apply during the construction as well as operation phase of the project.
Standards for ambient air quality have also been prescribed.

ADB’s SAFEGUARD POLICY STATEMENT (SPS), 2009

The Asian Development Bank’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 requires that environmental
considerations be incorporated into ADB’s funded project to ensure that the project will have minimal
environmental impacts and be environmentally sound.
