The ten sites are 250 km long and cost EUR1.8 billion.
Although weather in August was favorable for construction work, progress was slower than in July-August. Work advanced by 5% on average in July-August.
The only construction sites where the construction pace sped up in August were those which are supposed to be inaugurated by the end of this year. For instance on the first section of Orastie-Sibiu highway, which is 24-km long, the actual execution stage advanced by around 6.9%, to 81.9%.
On the other hand, there was no progress on the 22 km-long third section of the Orastie-Sibiu highway in August. In fact there was a regression because landslides affected the works done by Italian company Impregilo.
