Abstract	Traffic congestion, delays, environmental pollution and the insufficient operation of urban road networks in general, are some of the main components that characterize the quality of life in modern cities nowadays. In order to improve this situation, local authorities and policy makers have been investing, for decades now, on large scale projects, aiming not only to provide additional road transport supply such as new tunnel links or bridges, but also to change the current modal share by constructing surface or underground Public Transport lines. Since these projects are embedded in the greater existed urban environment, the construction time period is often long. In this respect, efficient traffic management initiatives need to be applied among the near impact area during construction period in order to relief the potential traffic and associated environmental problems that normally arise due to the worksite presence. The objective of this paper is to present the approach and the findings of an environmental impact assessment case study that pertains to be the construction period of a major infrastructure project. The case study is the Thessaloniki Metro line, one of the largest urban infrastructure projects that is under construction in Greece. The current analysis is divided in two discrete time horizons. The first one analyzes the situation for year 2006 which was the year when the first 6 station worksites started. The second time horizon refers to year 2011, when all station worksites are supposed to be at a construction phase. Two different impact areas are considered, the near impact area and the overall city network area respectively. In addition, the respective traffic management proposals, for each of the time horizon, are also analyzed. The model that is used for the analysis is the SATURN software, a well known transport simulation tool that has been used by the authors in main transportation and environmental related studies.
