Last week, Premier Emil Boc said that the Transilvania Highway project will be funded both from the state budget and from alternative sources. The Turda – Campia Turzii section is forecasted to be finalized at the end of the year and in parallel, the works for the Gilau – Suplacu de Barcau sections are being performed.
Bechtel representatives confirmed that Transilvania Highway can be opened for traffic at an acceptable term, only if “the works observe the protocol to be concluded in 2010”.
Transilvania Highway construction project, on the Brasov – Bors route was started in 2004 based on a 2.2 billion euros contract granted to Bechtel through direct assignment. The highway is provided to have 415 km, four lanes, the total cost will amount to five billion euros and it will have 58 passage ways, 94 bridges and 16 road junctions.
Up to the present moment, Romania has paid to the American company 2.7 billion lei (643 million euros) for the 42 km constructed so far. Bechtel company says it still has to recover from Romania roughly 150 million euros for the works finalized in 2009.
