In Romania, modernisation of capital Bucharest’s ring road is now due for completion in 2012. The delay has been caused by a lack of funds.
Upgrading of the sections between DN7 and DN1A and DN1A (Mogosoaia)and DN1 (Otopeni) started in 2007 and some 51km have been improved so far. The total length of the ring road will be 71km when it is complete.
Tenders still have to be launched for two more sections of the ring road, the 11km DN2/A2 stretch and the 8.6km A1/DN7 section. Financing for these last sections will be provided in part by a €50 million loan from the1054 European Investment Bank, which is expected to cover around 50% of the costs.
Meanwhile the1207 SEARCH Corporation is now working on a feasibility study for the construction of Targu Mures-Ditrau highway. Search was contracted by the National Highways and Roads Company.
