Original Abstract

Current profound insufficient funding of the road construction infrastructure results in developing enormous pressure on the economy and efficiency of its construction. The topic of the paper reflects a methodological insight into streamline of the process of economic evaluation of transport infrastructure projects with respect to their Whole Life Costs (WLC). The WLC develop and combine methods of Life Cycle Costs (LCC), Life cycle assessment (LCA) and Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), which work with the analysis of the studied road construction itself, in this case, the section of a road or a highway. The WLC expands the existing practice in the assessment of the impact of road construction on the society and environment by costs and benefits that arise in the vicinity of the construction and may affect or be affected by other entities that are not directly related to the construction and its usage.
