The overpass on the Capital Ring Road at the intersection with Berčeni Road, the last suspended overpass remaining open on the capital’s current Southern Ring Road after the grand opening of the Oltenica Drive and Domneşti Drive, will be opened to traffic in the coming weeks. Currently, the work has reached a very advanced stage and is close to completion.
The stage of Passage Bercheny is currently quite advanced, about 90%, and the grand opening will take place in about 10-14 days. However, the opening of traffic is delayed by about 10 months compared to the initial contract period.
The works also envisage the doubling of the current lane in sections of about 2.5 km.

Why are suspended roundabouts being built on the Capital Ring Road
Four suspended roundabouts on the Capital Ring are currently being considered: Domnești and Olteniței are already open, Berceni is still under construction, and in Cernica work has been stopped by an Italian builder who has not been able to mobilize for construction for two years.
The solution of hanging roundabouts is applied in the Capital belt because The capital ring road is connected to the ring railwaytherefore, any passage must decide the direction of traffic and over the railway.
In essence, suspended roundabouts will allow drivers to travel in either direction, as well as bypass the ring rail (without crossings), while the ring road will remain on the ground and no longer have conflicting intersections in its path of travel.
