Infrastructure and transport developments in Romania and MD

Overview

Infrastructure development continues across Romania and Moldova, focusing on water security, cross-border connectivity, and strategic transport corridors. The A7 motorway is progressing to connect Bucharest to the Ukrainian border, while cross-border connectivity has reached a milestone with feasibility studies for four road bridges over the Prut River.

Water infrastructure is also expanding to improve access to potable water. In Romania, the Someș Water Company has begun extending the network in Zorenii de Vale, Mociu commune, to mitigate drought impacts. Cross-border water cooperation is advancing, with the Iași system in Romania already supplying water to Moldova via the Măcărești point; future expansions aim to connect up to 250,000 Moldovans in western districts to the Romanian supply.

In Romania, railway reforms are intensifying. Interim Minister of Economy Radu Miruță has approved a performance-based framework for the CFR SA Board of Directors for the 2027-2031 mandate. This system ties leadership to specific outcomes, such as reducing train delays, decreasing annual financial losses by 5%, and minimizing infrastructure unavailability by 8% annually on key routes. Furthermore, a contract has been signed with TPF Inginerie to implement the ERTMS signaling system and GSM-R communications on the Predeal-Bucharest-Constanța route.

Other regional developments include the appointment of Eugeniu Buzatu as General Director of Energocom in Moldova, and reports from Bucharest Mayor Ciprian Ciucu regarding the rehabilitation of the city's heating network, noting that 102 kilometers were rehabilitated in 2024.
