On Thursday, September 21, from 1:00 p.m., traffic opens on approximately 14 kilometers built by the Turks from Nurol on the A3 highway, from Nushfaleu to Suplaçu de Barqueu. With this opening, Romania surpassed the milestone of 1,000 kilometers of high-speed road, highway or expressway.

• “Tomorrow, at 1 p.m., we will reach and cross the milestone of 1,000 km of high-speed road in Romania. After the opening of traffic on the Nușfalău – Suplacu de Barcău section (13.55 km) of the Transylvania Motorway, the length of high-speed roads (motorways and expressways) will reach 1,004 km,” said the head of the road company, Christian Pistole. .

It should be noted that according to all calculations – some official, others unofficial, including HotNews.ro, after years of monitoring road infrastructure projects, Romania will reach approximately 1008 km of high-speed road, not 1004.

The initial deadline for the completion of the A3 Nușfalău – Suplacu de Barcău section was February 2023. The contract, worth about 385 million euros, was signed in February 2021 and had a period of 6 months for design and 18 months for execution.

• “General contractor Nurol didn’t do badly with this first contract it won in Romania, but it didn’t deliver any noticeable results either. Moreover, as I have repeatedly told you, we could have completed the 13.55 kilometers between Nushfalau and Port as early as July, but the CNAIR officials have unnecessarily delayed the decision of the bureaucracy related to the temporary release”, he noted a few days ago Days Pro Infrastructure Association.

Romania and the symbolic milestone of 1000 kilometers of highway

Currently, Romania has almost 955 km of highways and another 40 km of real expressways.

Thus, with the completed section on the Transylvania Highway, our country will pass a symbolic milestone. More precisely, with 13.5 km on the A3 Nușfalău – Suplacu de Barcău, Romania will exceed 1008 km of high-speed road.
