According to Sova, negotiations will end in August.

The four bidders are company China Communications Construction and consortia Spedition UMB-Tehnostrade, Vinci – Strabag – Aktor and Impregilo – Salini.

In 2010, Romania awarded a contract to construct the Comarnic-Brasov highway to a consortium made up of Vinci (France) and Aktor (Greece). Greek group Ellaktor, which includes Aktor, said at that time the contract was cancelled as the Romanian state refused to accept some clauses, which made financing impossible.
