Supplemental Site-Specific Environmental and Social Management Plan for the Construction of a Category V Road on the Left Bank of Rogun Reservoir

The ESIA includes an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) that defines measures that must be taken to avoid or reduce the significant impacts on people and the environment. Among the potential impacts caused by filling the reservoir will be the loss of several bridges across the Vakhsh River. At present, these bridges serve to connect villages on the left bank with each other and with the International Road that runs along the right bank and provides access to Rogun City, Nurabod, and the rest of Tajikistan. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is providing financing for construction of a new bridge across the river about 50 kilometers upstream of the dam.
