“Starting December, Cluj-Napoca will in fact have two bypass roads and the locals will be spared the ordeal of the heavy traffic crossing the city. There is on one hand the 42 km segment of the Transylvania Motorway, on the Bucharest – Oradea direction, that also serves as a beltway for Cluj-Napoca, and on the other hand, there is the ring road between Apahida and Valcele, which diverts heavy traffic on the Baia Mare – Bucharest or Bucharest-Zalau axes,” said the Prime Minister while at the site of the beltways.
The 25 km long Cluj-Napoca beltway will cost 125 million euros.
The other objective visited on Friday is the Transylvania Highway, in the region of Gilau. The Prime Minister got a bird’s eye view of the Gilau-Turda segment from helicopter and renewed assurances that the 42 km will be open to traffic starting December 1, the same day the Bucharest Baneasa Passage will also be inaugurated.
“On December 1, after we attend the celebration of the National Day in Bucharest, we will give green light for traffic through the Baneasa passage, after which we will board the helicopter for Cluj-Napoca, to inaugurate the 42 km of highway,” said Emil Boc.
The Prime Minister said that at this time, the 42 km highway segment is 80 pct complete, pointing out another pleasing aspect, specifically that the project employs 5,000 workers.
Transport Minister Radu Berceanu also expressed his conviction that the section will be opened to traffic on December 1, the more so as – he said – milestone payments to contractor Bechtel are up-to-date.
The Transylvania Highway that should be 415 km long in the end, includes 55 km of bridges and viaducts, 94 walkways, 58 cross-passages and 16 road junctions.
