A new concept of a “sustainable road” has emerged through both academia and industry, and is defined to be a road that is:
In a construction project, every aspect has some obvious impactfrom mining processes used for materials, to the waste produced by the project and how it is
What are the environmental effects of road construction? On the negative side roads occupy land resources and form barriers to animals. They can also cause
Highway development shares the effects with other human activities that degrade the natural environment, highways (as well as power line rightsofway and
Some try to pretend that the climate is not changing and that their businesses do not impact the environment. In reality, the construction sector contributes
All construction projects have the potential to impact natural habitats, wildlife, and biodiversity. Construction impacts biodiversity throughout the whole

This study used a multidisciplinary approach to analyze the impacts of road construction on the development of a poor fen. Growth rings from several peatland trees were used as a
The same time and place were considered to minimize the impact of temperature and precipitation on NPP. In the Animaqing Range, where the population density is low, expressway construction is larger and more influential than other human activities, and the impact of expressway construction on the road environment is more
Forest road construction is a hazardous operation in mountainous terrain and can inflict scars on the landscape and also cause substantial damage to the forest ecosystem. One of the negative effects of road construction is the loss of forest area. The ecological balance in forests is adversaly affected by rockfall and forest road costruction
Environmental Impacts from Road Construction The basic IO table aggregates the road construction work into one sector, therefore it is a bit difficult to get the final demand of road construction work by sector. Moreover, the road construction industry is divided into several categories namely: earthworks, pavement
According to new research by construction blog Bimhow, the construction sector contributes to 23% of air pollution, 50% of the climatic change, 40% of drinking water pollution, and 50% of landfill wastes. In separate research by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the construction industry accounts for 40% of worldwide energy
In summary, the past studies have focused more on the relationship between energy consumption, environment, and economic growth, while this study aims to concentrate on the environmental impacts of building construction in Iran concerning energy consumption; using the ARDL method to analyze three important independent variables
IMPACTS OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ON THE ENVIRONMENT: THE CASE OF GHANA Simon Ofori Ametepey1, 1oforipmp@gmail and Fruitful Kwame Ansah2 [email protected] 1 Faculty of Technical
The negative environmental and social impacts of road construction are many. The major environmental ones being noise pollution, air pollution, and water pollution, vibrations, carbon emissions, landscape disfigurement,
This study used a multidisciplinary approach to analyze the impacts of road construction on the development of a poor fen. Growth rings from several peatland trees were used as a proxy for recent recent hydrological change, and dead trees were crossdated to determine the timing of large flooding events that caused the dieback.
Are there any studies on the environmental impact of road construction? Few studies have considered the air quality impacts of new road construction and its subsequent operation. The available studies are limited for the construction of urban road tunnels and are thus not directly applicable to most urban road schemes 21,22.
Environmental awareness and budgetary constraints in road construction and rehabilitation require innovative and at the same time environmentally friendly solutions in favor of resource conservation, in any type of pavement intervention. In the meantime, surface interventions in severely deteriorated pavements are insufficient, increasing as
Huang and Ting 21 studied the impact of road construction on landscape Wang, Z., Yang, C. & Chen, Y. Assessment of ecological environment impact in highway construction activities with
The same time and place were considered to minimize the impact of temperature and precipitation on NPP. In the Animaqing Range, where the population density is low, expressway construction is larger and more influential than other human activities, and the impact of expressway construction on the road environment is more
Permitting programs usually consider only direct impacts of road construction and use on a protected resource, even though indirect or cumulative effects can be substantial (for example, effects on food web components). A set of rapid screening and assessment methods for environmental impacts of transportation and a national ecological
Forest roads are the most costly structures in forestry. Inadequately constructed forest roads can cause severe environmental impacts including road surface erosion and sediment yield [1, 2], pollution of offsite waters [3–5], slope failures and mass movement [6, 7] direct loss of habitat (by the conversion of the original land cover into an
1. identify and critically assess the impacts (during construction and use) of new roads on the natural environment, habitats and species in protected areas; 2. identify ways of mitigating impacts (such as by way of ecological buffer zones) with reference to specific case studies in New Zealand and in other similar biogeographical regions; 3.
4.1 Road Construction The RAP roads are constructed in a phased labourbased manner using RBGs to minimize environmental impacts and disturbances at each stage. The implementation approach strictly adheres to the green road concept3 maximising participation of local people during the planning and road construction phases with the
The construction projects have adverse impacts on the residents who live at a neighborhood of a construction project. Major challenges to the successful implementation and practice of programme management in the construction environment: A critical analysis.

Direct Impacts: Direct impacts on the environment can directly occur during the process of the new road construction, for example the 1st step of constructing a new road between two cities separated by a green area or farm is removing the greens (trees, plants,,etc.) to place the road’s gravel and asphalt (pavement), in
The impact of construction on the environment is not limited to human health; it extends to animals. There are also numerous ways to improve the environment. The study recommends that governments enact strict laws regarding the environmental impact of construction. These laws can help limit the negative impacts of construction by
This study used a multidisciplinary approach to analyze the impacts of road construction on the development of a poor fen. Growth rings from several peatland trees were used as a proxy for recent recent hydrological change, and dead trees were crossdated to determine the timing of large flooding events that caused the dieback.
