The project was approved in 2009 by the Government led by Emil Boc.
As the project is not among the investments to be financed from the state budget, not repealing the act approving works would lead to expropriation problems, explained the Government.
In 2009, the Government decided that financing to build the northern section of the Cluj beltway would be ensured from the state budget, through the Transport Ministry, and would not exceed the annual sums allotted to the project. Works were also to be financed from other revenue sources.
