6. Project Scope of DEE Minimizing Land Acquisition The expressway will feature interchanges and ramps to connect with existing roads and facilitate access and exit points. Grade separation eliminates cross traffic, reducing the likelihood of accidents. Improving Road Safety The project includes the construction of toll plazas and the implementation of a computerized toll collection system. Toll Plazas and Collection System Building above existing roads often reduces the need to acquire and demolish properties compared to expanding roads at ground level Interchanges and Ramps

7. Existing Background Environment 1) PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT ( i ) verifying the final alignment of the proposed Expressway, (ii) identifying positions of important physical features along the alignment of the proposed Expressway and its surrounding areas, and (iii) Identifying the possible affected entities. The survey was carried out along approximately a 300m corridor along the proposed alignment of the Expressway 2) ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT i ) to enlist the plant and wildlife species with their national and international status, (ii) to enlist keystone, rare and threatened flora and fauna including fish species, to investigate the distribution and abundance of flora and fauna including fish species, and to make an assessment of the impacts for the proposed project activities on the existing ecological environment .

13. Mitigation Measures and Environmental Management Plan Mitigation measures are actions taken to reduce or prevent negative effects on the environment. They help to control pollution, protect natural resources, and reduce harm to people and animals. An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a plan that explains how these measures will be applied during a project.
