Romania road, rail, and metro infrastructure updates

Overview

Work on the Sibiu-Pitești A1 motorway continues, with asphalt works progressing on the Cornetu–Tigveni segment and the Tigveni–Curtea de Argeș section nearing 97% completion. Preparatory works for the 1,780-meter Poiana Tunnel TBM installation have reached over 80% completion. However, the A1 Pitești-Sibiu motorway faces closures on the Cisnădie-Boița section from October 5 until December 19 to facilitate a future A1-A13 connection, with traffic diverted to DN7 and DN1. Significant progress persists on the A7 Moldova Motorway, where the Bacău–Pașcani section exceeds 60% completion. On the A3 Transylvania Motorway, the Suplacu de Barcău–Chiribiș section is nearing completion, with an expected opening on December 1, 2026. The A8 Unirii Motorway’s Târgu Mureș – Miercurea Nirajului sector is approximately 70% complete, aiming for a partial opening in early 2027. New developments for the A8 highway include efforts by the National Road Investment Company (CNIR) to facilitate site access for the Târgu Neamț (Moțca)-Târgu Frumos section. A priority 5.5-kilometer segment is being targeted to potentially link the A8 ‘Unirii’ Highway with the A7 ‘Moldova’ Highway within 12 months. Developments on the Bucharest Ring Road (A0) have accelerated. The DN3 passage over the A0 motorway has officially opened to traffic as part of the A0 North Lot 3 project. While traffic is currently moving on two lanes, work continues on expansion joints, safety parapets, signaling, and Intelligent Transport Systems. CNAIR Director Cristian Pistol announced that an additional 13 kilometers between Glina and Afumati are expected to open by the end of October. Total execution for the entire construction site has exceeded 98.5%. Lot 1 (Joița-Corbeanca) has reached 82% physical execution, with connections to DN1A and DN7 potentially ready by late 2026 and the A1 connection expected in 2027.
