Constraints Study Objectives
The planning and development of the N9 road is being carried
out in accordance with the NRA National Roads Project Management
Guidelines4. These guidelines provide
for a phased approach to the development of major road schemes.
The main phases defined in the guidelines are as follows:
-
Project Management
- Constraints
- Route
Selection
- Preliminary
Design / Land Acquisition Procedures
- Construction
Documents Preparation (including Detailed Design) / Tender
Award
The
planning for the scheme up to the completion of the Route
Selection phase is being carried out jointly by ROD-M and
Arup for the Northern and Southern Sections respectively.
This Constraints Study has been carried out at an early stage
of the project with the objective of gathering as much information
regarding the project as possible. This data collection is
focused on determining the constraints including physical,
environmental and engineering constraints that exist and could
affect the location, design and progress of the scheme.
