Boagiu said around 2,500 km of road are currently being constructed or upgraded in Romania, worth an estimated total of EUR2 billion, half provided by the state budget and the rest from loans from the EIB.
As regards highways, the Transport Ministry is for the time being focusing on Pan-European Corridor IV, for which funding is available, but is also considering a north-south corridor.
The minister added there have been no talks on increasing the road toll tax (vignette), which is a source of significant income for the national roads administration (CNADNR).
