Romania and Moldova road and rail 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. On the Cornetu-Tigveni section (Section 3), preparatory works for the installation of a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) to excavate the 1,780-meter Poiana Tunnel have reached over 80% completion. DRDP Craiova announced that the launch platform and necessary infrastructure for the TBM, colloquially referred to as the ‘mole’, are nearly finished, with component assembly scheduled to begin in early October. Significant progress persists on the A7 motorway (the Moldova Motorway); following the opening of the Adjud to Bacău Sud section and the Bacău Bypass, construction continues on three lots between Bacău and Pașcani. On the Sibiu-Făgăraș Motorway (A13), the Arpașu de Jos–Sâmbăta de Sus section has reached 44% completion. Meanwhile, the A8 Unirii Highway remains a focus, with over 300 workers and 240 machines currently active on the Joseni–Ditrău mountain lot in Harghita. Other regional efforts include a feasibility study for a bypass in Feldioara and modernization projects on the DN 73C and DN73 roads. Additionally, the Ministry of Transport has authorized the modernization of two level crossings in Brașov, a project valued at nearly four million lei. In Moldova, infrastructure developments include the reopening of a bridge over the Răut river and a railway passage at the Bălți bypass following rehabilitation. In Chișinău, a €74.3 million project supported by the EBRD is underway to expand Mircea cel Bătrân Boulevard. Furthermore, Calea Ferată din Moldova is analyzing plans to extend the railway line to the Giurgiulești State Port to improve logistics. In northern regions, the National Road Administration has contracted the construction of over 3.9 kilometers of new sidewalks across four national roads.
