    AIIB-backed Obigarm-Nurobod Road project set to boost Tajikistan's connectivity

    AIIB-backed Obigarm-Nurobod Road project set to boost Tajikistan's connectivity

    Tajikistan, a country nestled in Central Asia, is gearing up for an infrastructure endeavor, the Obigarm-Nurobod Road Project, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) reported. This initiative, approved with the backing of $75.5mn in financing from AIIB, aims to enhance connectivity along the Obigarm–Nurobod section of the M41 Highway. The cornerstone of this project involves the construction of a 920-meter-long bridge and its approaches, known as the Long Bridge, to replace the existing segment that will be submerged by the Rogun dam reservoir.

    The alignment replacement is crucial to maintain uninterrupted connectivity along a vital transport corridor in Tajikistan. The M41 Highway serves as a lifeline, connecting the central part of the country with the northeast and bordering Kyrgyz Republic. 

    Divided into three sections, the Obigarm–Nurobod stretch of the highway is undergoing comprehensive refurbishment, with the AIIB stepping in to finance the critical bridge and its approaches. With a total project cost of $81.96mn, the AIIB's contribution stands at $75.5mn, with the Government of Tajikistan providing the remainder. 

    The project holds strategic importance, as it will sustain connectivity along a crucial transport corridor linking the central region of Tajikistan with the northeast and the border to the Kyrgyz Republic. Aligned with the thematic priorities of AIIB, the initiative is categorized under Green Infrastructure and Connectivity and Regional Cooperation.

    The project's objectives extend beyond mere construction; it aims to enhance transport connectivity, reduce travel time, and improve safety along the route. Key indicators for measuring success include the number of beneficiaries of improved transport connectivity, travel time savings, and a decrease in road-related fatalities and injuries.

    From an environmental and social standpoint, the project has been categorized as Environmental and Social Category A, necessitating adherence to stringent policies and assessments. Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) have been conducted, including a Supplemental ESIA specifically addressing the bridge and approach roads. Measures to mitigate environmental impacts such as dust, noise, and vibration during construction have been outlined, along with plans to address potential risks during the operational phase, including wildlife accidents and water contamination.

    Furthermore, the project emphasizes stakeholder engagement and information disclosure. A Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) has been formulated to ensure effective communication throughout the project lifecycle, supplemented by a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) to address concerns at both local and national levels.
