A 6.5-km section between the Petricani roadway in Bucharest and the Bucharest beltway has not yet been opened to traffic. The roads authority terminated the contract with Italy’s Pizzarotti which had built 3.2 km of the total 6.5 km, therefore, the remaining 3.3 km of the highway section have yet to be finalized.
The 56 km of highway between the Bucharest beltway and Ploiesti were opened to traffic three years ago.
