Romania is facing various road infrastructure and safety challenges across different regions. In Constanța, uneven sewage covers on recently rehabilitated streets have caused driver discomfort, with local authorities planning staged repairs.

On the A10 Sebeș-Turda highway, landslides have forced traffic into a single lane at kilometer 66. Despite an agreement with an Austrian constructor to cover costs related to hidden defects, repairs have faced delays, and drivers have reported repeated asphalt cracking since 2018.

Recent disruptions have also been caused by severe weather and structural failures. Heavy snowfall on the Transfăgărășan highway required significant salt application and road crew intervention near Bâlea Lac. Additionally, in Bacău County, a metal bridge over the Trotuș River on DN 12A collapsed while being crossed by a heavy truck that reportedly exceeded weight and height restrictions. While no injuries were reported, the collapse has blocked heavy traffic, and authorities have initiated a feasibility study and tender process for a replacement bridge.
