According to Sova, the Transylvania Highway project may be continued only in public-private partnership or based on a concession contract.
The minister said five large companies are interested in the project.
The project to build the Transylvania Highway, which links Brasov to Bors, was approved in 2003 and started a year later. The contract winner was Bechtel and the value of the contract was worth EUR2.2 billion. Works should have been finished in 2012 at the latest.
The project was hindered by political disputes and lack of funds from the budget. Bechtel has built only 52 kilometers of the 415-km highway.
