Compania Nationala de Autostrazi si Drumuri Nationale din Romania (Romanian National Motorway and National Road Company), subordinated to the Transports Ministry, has awarded only one new motorway construction contract since the beginning of the year, for the Sibiu orbital road (2.7 kilometres). The total value of the 72 contracts awarded by CNADNR since the beginning of the year stands at 185 million RON and 44 million euros.
"A low number of contracts were awarded in the first five months, because the budgetary allocation did not allow us to sign new contracts as a high volume of works was contracted in 2008 and 2009, which still is under construction. Moreover, the projects awarded were challenged," said Adrian Ionescu, head of the Highway Department of CNADNR.
According to Ionescu, all the sections of corridor IV (Nadlac-Constanta) which are financed by the European Union have to be auctioned in the second half of the year, that is Nadlac-Arad (38.9 kilometres), Timisoara-Lugoj (35.6 kilometres), Lugoj-Deva (99.5 kilometres), Deva-Orastie (32.8 kilometres) and Orastie-Sibiu (82 kilometres).
