Priority of the Accession Partnership (AP) and the National Program for the Adoption of the Acquis (NPAA) The project meets the recommendations included in the above documents and connected with conducting in the border area of investment projects ensuring the following effects: - medium-term: - transport ensuring the necessary investment projects in the field of transport infrastructure - medium-term: environmental protection The national road No. 4 is located in the European road corridor TINA Contribution to the National (Initial) Development Plan (NPR). The submitted project complies with the priorities defined in the Lower Silesia Saxony Joint Programme Document in the scope of infrastructure Priority B Instrument B Impact on the cross-border co-operation Annual average daili traffic in July and August number of wehicles per 24 h. Modernization of the road located in the distance 12.5 km from the border crossing in Zgorzelec will result in: improvement of the cross-border transport infrastructure limitation of traffic nuisance in the borderland area (exhaust, noise) 3. Description 3.1. Background and justification The national road No. 4 is an important element of the road network connecting Germany with Poland. Several projects within the financial capacity of the State Budget are undertaken on this route in order to improve the road traffic. These projects include: construction of a vehicle border crossing together with the transport network in Jedrzychowice, construction of the Boleslawiec by-pass financed by the PHARE fund with the participation of the state budget, modernization of the road No. 4 section (from km to km ) under the PHARE CBC 2000 fund, routine modernization projects along the road. Currently, the remaining sections of the road are not fit for accepting heavy traffic. It should be noted that for the last 10 years the road has not undergone any major repairs. The expected significant increase in traffic requires an immediate adaptation of the road parameters to the forecasted traffic load Linked Activities Under the PHARE programme, a two-stage construction of Boleslawiec by-pass is being implemented and modernisation of the road leading from the border in the direction of Boleslawiec along a 12 km long section (PHARE 2000). Preparations are underway to modernize the A4 motorway within ISPA funds, which is an extension of the national road No 4 in the direction of Kraków Lvov and Warsaw Minsk Results of the project: The project will contribute to a significant improvement in road traffic, improvement in traffic safety, increased driving comfort and decreased environmental pollution Products/outcome: Continuation along a section of aproximately 12.5 km including: 1
