Three projects target roads and four target water supply and sewerage systems.

The seven projects are co-financed through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) or the Cohesion Fund, according to a press statement released on Monday by the European Commission Representation in Romania.

The transport infrastructure projects target:

– national road Pitesti-Campulung-Brasov: modernization of national road DN 73;

– the Sebes-Turda highway: the new 70-km highway will connect A1 highway (Orastie–Sibiu) to A3 highway (Gilau-Campia Turzii);

– national road DN 76: rehabilitation of national road connecting Deva to Oradea.

Other four projects approved target the extension and rehabilitation of water supply and sewerage systems in the counties of Brasov, Hunedoara, Olt and Tulcea.

The bulk of EU funds allocated within EU’s former financial framework (2007-2013) for infrastructure risk being lost because works will not be completed by the end of 2016.
