The sum needed to pay expropriation compensations will be covered from the state budget.
The Bucharest-Ploiesti highway, which should be finished in December, is divided into two sections, namely the Bucharest-Moara Vlasiei sector, constructed by consortium Impressa Pizzarotti/Tirrena Scavi, and the Moara Vlasiei-Ploiesti sector, constructed by consortium Spedition UMB/Pa&Co International/Euroconstruct ’98/Com-Axa.
Only 21 kilometers of the 62-km long highway have so far been finished.
End-August, President Traian Basescu visited the highway worksite and said that finishing works in due time “seems mission impossible”.
