Boc visited the road construction site and said the city’s beltway is one of the Government’s priorities.
“The 14 remaining kilometers of the beltway will be finished in May 2012 at the latest. Five kilometers have been built and the rest of the road will be built this year and the next and the city of Iasi will be free of heavy traffic,” said the prime minister.
Boc added four other beltways, for Constanta, Cluj-Napoca, Suceava and Arad, would be finished thei years and works are set to start for the Bacau beltway.
Works on the road 24-kilometer by-passing the city of Iasi started in 2008 and will cost an estimated EUR52 million. The works, performed by Galati-based Vega 93 SRL, were delayed because of expropriation procedures.
