The worst-case scenario says no highway will be finished this year.
Another year-half, which started with as many promises as in
previous years regarding highway construction, has passed. With
just 314 kilometers of highway, Romania is positioned at the bottom
of the EU ranking by highways, and 2011 does not bring any better
signs, writes Business Magazin.
Romania has seven highway sections under construction, with an
overall length of around 193 kilometers, in addition to another two
83-kilometer sections, whose situation is uncertain.
“From the experience of past years and looking at the current stage of works on these sections, we realize there are few chances for these highways to be completed this year,” says Florin Popa, managing partner with construction consultancy firm Vitalis Consulting.
