The document discusses Aberdeen, Scotland's deployment of a hydrogen fuel cell bus fleet, the largest in Europe. The project aims to cement Aberdeen as a leader in hydrogen and fuel cells by outlining actions over 10 years, including deploying the first 10 fuel cell buses, building a hydrogen production and refueling station, and supporting Aberdeen as an early adopter. The £20 million demonstration project works with partners and funders to establish hydrogen infrastructure and deploy zero-emission vehicles to improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions.
Bridges on Kapchorwa – Suam Road_UgandaJavad Akhtar
This document summarizes a feasibility study and design work for bridges along the Kapchorwa – Suam Road in Uganda. The study evaluated upgrading the deteriorated mud track road, which passes through a national park, to an all-weather route. Due to limited traffic and funds, a strategy was adopted to rehabilitate suitable existing bridges and replace severely deficient structures. Typical modifications to the 6 existing bridges included re-kerbing, reconstructing parapets and resurfacing. Some steel beam bridges were converted to composite steel-concrete structures. Replacement bridges used reinforced concrete box or beam and slab designs to facilitate simple local construction.
The document summarizes a $307 million investment in nine road-rail improvement projects along the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor by 2014. The projects are aimed at improving safety, reducing delays, and increasing efficiency of the growing road and rail networks to support international trade. By separating road and rail traffic with overpasses and sidings, the number of level crossings will be reduced from 66 to improve traffic flow for over 338,000 vehicles and increase rail capacity from 18 to 38 trains per day. The projects are part of larger trade infrastructure plans and will provide local and regional economic benefits by enhancing transportation of goods and people.
This document provides information about a project to improve the Devore Interchange on I-15 in San Bernardino County, California.

Status of roads in nairobi by ps mo r 2nd august 2012Functional Eco
The document summarizes the status of roads in Nairobi, Kenya. It outlines ongoing and planned road projects in the city including the Thika Road Project, Nairobi Eastern and Northern Bypass, Nairobi Western Ring Roads, upgrading of Langata Road, and the Nairobi Southern Bypass. It also discusses opportunities for private sector participation in road infrastructure development through funding models like public-private partnerships. The way forward outlined includes enhancing investment in roads, maintaining existing roads, improving public transport, and encouraging private sector financing of infrastructure projects.
The document discusses opportunities for decarbonizing India's transport sector to meet its climate commitments. It outlines that road transport accounts for most emissions, while rail presents opportunities for increasing low-carbon mobility. Integrating more renewables into rail through large-scale solar and rooftop projects could help reduce costs and meet climate targets. Water management is also essential given rail's large water needs, with potential for conservation and wastewater reuse. Overall, the document argues for more sustainable, integrated solutions that balance development and affordability concerns while lowering emissions.
Turku, Finland is looking to develop sustainable best practices for its transportation and energy infrastructure. Some immediate solutions proposed include promoting green logistics, traffic management, biogas, and building controls. Longer term projects include developing a light rail transit system and smart grid. A light rail network could reduce carbon emissions by 11% by 2035 and increase property values by €480-850 million. It would also cut NOx emissions and increase public transportation ridership by 40%. Implementing sustainable infrastructure aligns with Turku's goals of reducing emissions and improving competitiveness.

The document discusses a pilot project to develop a standardized HSEQ (Health, Security, Environment, Quality) approach for quality management in industrial subcontracting networks in Lapland, Finland. The pilot will test an HSEQ concept with service suppliers and one or two mines. It aims to identify suppliers' management gaps, create improvement plans, and develop a toolkit to help suppliers meet various mine customers' qualifications. The expected results are improved cost-quality relationships, better value chain management, access to new customers and markets, and continuous quality improvement for suppliers. The region aims to demonstrate sustainable natural resource utilization as part of the EU's new cluster policy.

1. Development of International
Corridors in Lapland
Comments by Jorma Leskinen,
Finnish regional road authority

2. Focus on Roads
The need for good road connections is obvious
Improving present roads is environmentally sustainable
and serves the whole community
Reconstruction work can be done even with a limited
financing section by section, although it takes time
Social acceptance for improving is easier to achieve than
that for building new transport infrastructure
Border crossing roads should be planned together with
authorities on both side

3. E8 Tornio - Skibotn
Important connection between Norway and Finland
Parts of the road date back to the World War II
The Northernmost 200 km in Finland need repairing
• Should be widened to 8 m
• Geometry needs to be improved in many places
• Bearing capacity should be improved
Plans have been
ready for 10 years
Financing is the
problem

4. Finnish initiatiative to the NDPTL
Proposal of new roads to
added to the Northern
Dimension road maps
Together with Norway
Railway projects included
Approval would make it
possible to use Northern
Dimension financing
instruments

5. Conclusions
A railway may be a solution in the long term, but it
needs a continuous large cargo volumes to be viable
- Roads can serve with reasonable transport volumes
Only the largest transporters will benefit from a railway,
the small and medium size enterprises can not use it
- Everyone can use the roads
Railway construction takes most of a decade or more
- A road can be reconstructed within a year or two
Railways maybe needed by regional mega-size projects
- Roads are essential to all regional development
