The Federal Roads Office FEDRO plans to increase the capacity on the A1 between Winterthur-Töss and Winterthur-Wülflingen by adding lanes. At the same time, a comprehensive repair of the existing road infrastructure is planned. In addition, they plan to adapt current measures of noise and water protection to the current legal regulations. The A1 motorway is the main artery of road traffic in Switzerland from west (Geneva) to east (St. Margrethen). Between 95'000 and 100'000 vehicles travel daily around Winterthur, on the so-called bypass. This section is considered one of the largest congestion hotspot in the Swiss high- performance road network. You are commissioned to analyse the costs and benefits of this project focusing in the increase of capacity only (additional lane). Describe in key words the project scope, the reference case, and the stakeholders to be considered.
