A number of road sections will be made available for use after renovation by the end of this year. One of these is the Chisinau-Ungheni highway whose repair has been delayed for several years, Minister of Economy and Infrastructure Kiril Gaburici was quoted by IPN as saying in a talk show on Publika TV channel.

“We have a number of road sections that will become available for use by this yearend. The Chisinau-Ungheni road is one of these. A number of problems were faced there. The contracts were renegotiated and renewed so that the road could be repaired,” stated the minister.

According to Kiril Gaburici, a number of road sections will be rehabilitated in southern Moldova. “We hope to also start works on the belt around Chisinau city. This is also a very important project. We all know what is going on in the city. The belt would give a little more air to Chisinau and would also attract additional investment to the area,” he noted.

The minister said a series of Chinese road building companies expressed readiness to take part in the tender contests held in Moldova with external financing and to finance themselves some of the projects. “We, together with colleagues from the Ministry of Finance, are now agreeing the procedure for working with them so as to open the door to them and to enable them to become involved in such projects,” he stated.

Kiril Gaburici also said that several sections of the roadway that goes to the Giurgiulești Port will also be reconstructed so that Moldovan goods could be easily transported to this port in a year.
