    This document summarizes a case study on the impacts of road widening. It discusses how road widening can improve traffic flow but also negatively impact the environment and local residents. The study aims to understand these impacts, including increased traffic capacity from additional lanes, effects on trees and ecosystems from construction, and changes to property values. While road widening provides benefits like reduced travel times, it can also hurt the environment through dust, removal of trees, and disruption of animal habitats. The conclusion is that road widening projects require balancing economic gains with mitigating environmental damage and relocation issues for residents.

    CHAPTER I

    THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

    Introduction :

    Roads are meant to facilitate mobility- the movement of people and goods. However most roads are
    widened and developed for facilitating vehicles rather than for pedestrians and non motorized
    vehicle. Road widening is normally carried out when the road is inadequate for the traffic using it, or
    when extra lanes are needed. Road widening can improved traffic safety and capacity. Widening of
    roads are one of the useful methods to deal with the current long standing traffic problems. On the
    other hand, we have also to check how road widening affects the environment and also local
    residents.

    Background of the Study :

    McBride’s (2013) explained that how environment gets affect from the project of road widening.
    While doing the project some of the trees will be cutoff unnecessarily. He also explained that how we
    can conduct the road widening project without damaging the environment by using correct and
    advanced technology.

    Asia pulse (2011) states that due to road widening will be able to manage increased capacity of
    vehicles. It controls the traffic of new vehicles in the road and it makes transportation process easy.
    The extension of the road once completed will additionally ease the current traffic condition. It
    reduces according to time and increases the driving comfort.

    BODY OF THE CASE STUDY

    A. Problem

    This study focuses on attempting to know the importance of Road Widening and the possible impact
    on environment and economic stability of affected area and especially impact on local residents. To
    assess the environmental impact of road widening in the ecosystem of particular area and in the
    topography of particular area and also to assess the awareness of public, specially on the people
    along the affected area.

    B. Analysis of Alternatives

    The environment is affected through road widening.


    Road Widening boost the property value.

    C. Recommended Solution

     To improve the work efficiency to satisfy more people.


     Take necessary measure to protect the environment.
     Take the necessary steps to complete the road widening work on a time bound basis.
     Try to avoid cutting of road side trees.
     Avoid the measure that control dust during the road widening work.

    Thus as per our study the main suggestion is that the concerned authority has try to improve the
    efficiency of road widening work which will reduce the accidents and improve the economical
    condition of the environment.

    D. Implementation

    G.R. No. 171496 Republic of the Philippines represented by the Department of Public Works and
    Highways. This is a petition for review under Rule 45 of the Rules of the Court.

    E. Result

    Residents get benefited like road widening saves the commuting times of public and new sewage lines
    are introduced and also increases the economical condition of the locality. This is the reason why
    there are cut trees and environment is affected through road widening. The dust increased in
    environment. Road widening works are not completed on a time bound basis. And property value was
    boosted by the road widening.

    CONCLUSION

    We conclude that the process of road widening has favorably and unfavorably impact on the local
    residents and the environment. Because of road widening local residents get advantages like new
    sewage lines introduced, saves the commuting time, property value boosted, accidents reduced,
    economical condition is increased and disadvantages like creates relocation issues and health
    hazards. In similar way, environment also get affected through road widening like dust increases in
    environment, cutting of road side trees, depletion of natural resources and also affect to animals and
    bird habitat.
