Romanian cities push ahead with major urban and sports infrastructure projects
In Pitești, mayor Cristian Gentea announced that work on the new skatepark at Ștrand is progressing, with the equipment‑transport bridge completed and a contract for park equipment signed. The city hopes to open the facility this summer if the construction schedule holds.
Timișoara has signed a 30‑month contract with PORR Construct SRL to redevelop Piața Mocioni. The 26,000 m² project, valued at 39,831,620 lei (73,623,537.30 lei including VAT), will create expanded pedestrian areas, bike lanes, priority public‑transport lanes, a decorative fountain and upgraded lighting.
In Cluj‑Napoca, mayor Emil Boc visited the Piezișă street renovation site. The comprehensive modernization replaces the gas network, installs LED street lighting, upgrades underground utilities and will pave the road with granite, aiming for completion by the end of September or early October. The upgraded street will feature new urban furniture and green elements for students and residents.
