Considering, all the positive factors arising from the traffic on the road (traffic speed and safety, travelling time, state of covering, service, etc.), estimated traffic is distributed between existing and the road at a ratio of 39:70% for the first 20 years of operation.

In accord with the forecast for 2015, highest estimated traffic intensity will amount to 6,2 thousands vehicles per day.

Fares throughout the motorway were established for: car - 3,41 EUR, truck 12,29 EUR, and bus 9,22 EUR.

Estimated value of construction is determined to be 96,97 mln. EUR. Project implementation period is scheduled for 5 years, with local materials and workforce involved and foreign technologies, machinery, and equipment utilized.

Project payback period is 13 years. NPV with discount rate of 10%and banking credit interest of 17%o amounts to 15,2 mln. EUR, and internal profit rate is 20%.

For the first years of motorway development, the scope of services are relatively low; collecting tolls and other services will be rendered to the customers on the distance of 84 km. Network being developed and additional traffic being involved, profits will raise. Road construction, except transportation problem being solved, will ensue the creation of new workplaces.
