A three-kilometer stretch of the A3 Transylvania Motorway in Bihor County, specifically the Chiribiș–Biharia segment, is being developed to include an emergency aircraft landing strip and parking area. The infrastructure, located between km 50+700 and 53+700, is intended for use during exceptional circumstances, such as when military bases or airports are temporarily unavailable.

Under normal conditions, the motorway will remain functional for standard vehicular traffic. The project involves a supplementary contract valued at approximately 84.5 to 85 million lei. While one report identifies the Selina Group as the contractor, another indicates the works are being executed by the Precon Transilvania–Citadina 98 association. The total project for the 28.5-kilometer lot is funded by European funds through the 2021–2027 Transport Program, with completion expected by April 2027.
