Council president Alin Tise said this is the second stage of the project for the rehabilitation of the county’s roads. The first stage, for the rehabilitation of 423 km and worth RON505 million, was approved a few months ago and its auction is nearing completion.

The 317 km are divided into four sections. The auction winners will have 48 months to carry out the investment and must offer five years warranty.

Tise also said the auction may be held next week, so that work might start this fall on every section of both stages of the project.

The Cluj county council is also running a program for the modernization of the road Rachitele-Prislop-Ic Ponor, where work started in 2009 through the Regional Operations Program 2007-2013. The program’s goal is modernizing the infrastructure in the Rachitele-Prislop-Ic Ponor tourism region.
