Road construction activities can significantly affect soil, vegetation, water resources and biodiversity, and the restoration of these lands is a crucial step in reducing the negative impact and reintegrating affected ecosystems. The studied area includes a variety of natural habitats, which harbor a significant diversity of flora and fauna, some of which are sensitive to environmental changes caused by construction activities. In the framework of ecological restoration measures in the case of road construction, it involves the choice of ecological solutions depending on the terrain, biodiversity and estimated impact, and the development of ecological compensation plans and post-construction monitoring. Following the mapping, the maps were prepared that provide the scientific basis for correct decisions regarding the route, technical solutions and ecological restoration measures. The identification of ecological corridors guides the optimal route of the highway to avoid sensitive areas and informs decisions regarding the placement of ecological tunnels, Eco ducts and wildlife crossings. The practical implementation of ecological recovery measures materialized by introducing green works in technical plans and supervising the execution of protection and restoration measures. Monitoring and maintenance include monitoring biodiversity in the years following construction and adjusting measures based on the results.
