The project of upgrading and reconstruction of the bridges of the I. Class roads involves the reconstruction of part of the bridge building or bridge as a whole. The reconstruction concerns the upper structure, the lower structure of the bridge building, the restoration of the utility and technical characteristics of the bridges, the installation of new variable traffic signs, arrest barriers and guide devices (in accordance with the applicable standards) to improve road safety and fluidity. In this project there are 58 bridge buildings, where, according to the project documentation, in general, it is the removal of unsatisfactory construction technical condition for each bridge by specific technical measures and the implementation of new safety features according to the current regulations. A detailed technical description of the individual parts of the project is given in the Annexes to the individual projects. The implementation of the project will make it possible to increase the speed and fluidity of the journey, thus reducing the time needed to move between the source and the destination of the journey. For crews of cars, trucks and buses, this will mean saving time. In the financial valuation, this saving amounts to EUR 5,8 million disclosing over the reference period. The indicators of financial analysis are negative, which is understandable for projects of this type. The financial net present value is EUR -9539435, i.e. the FNPV of the investment is negative and this indicates the need for co-financing from EU funds. The project does not generate revenue and therefore it is not possible to cover the investment costs of the project. The economic net present value of the project, ENPV, amounted to EUR 277356, which means that the net present value of the benefits is higher than the net present value of the costs. The positive value of the ENPV indicator reflects resource efficiency. The economic internal rate of return, the ERR, reached 5,08 %, which is higher than the economic discount rate (5 %). The ERR represents a theoretical rate of return at which the total discounted cash flow of a project is equal to zero, and this allows comparison of different projects. The higher the ERR, the more profitable the project is. The benefit/cost ratio, B/C, is 1.03 in the project analysed. See Annex Cost-benefit analysis of the grant application. The successful implementation of the project will be achieved by the implementation of the main activity of the project – Action 1 Project implementation, which consists of project works in the form of updating the PPAs and the execution of construction works. In the Banská Bystrica Region, construction works are taking place in the sense of the public procurement carried out. Other bridge buildings are in different stages of acquisition. Supported activities represent the internal management of the project, which coordinates the project work and the supervision of the implementation of the activities. Last but not least, the applicant shall provide information in accordance with the requirements of the Information and Communication Manual for mandatory publicity tools of projects for informing the public about the project supported by the OPII. The measurable indicators of the project are (updated according to the newly processed CBA and deleted 3 bridge objects):· Total length of reconstructed or renovated roads (class I) – 1.47 km.· Percentage of physical progress from the total length of new and/or technically evaluated infrastructure – 100 %· Number of removed critical accident sites and collision points on Class I roads – 58 locations.· Time savings in road transport on Class I roads – EUR 611 947 in 2024.
