26 July 2021
- Construction time of 24 months for approx. 19 km long route
- Contract value: € 111 million
Vienna/Bukarest, 26 July 2021---STRABAG, the European-based construction group, has been awarded a new large-scale contract worth around € 111 million by Romania’s National Company for Road Infrastructure Administration (CNAIR). Within a construction period of 24 months, STRABAG will build the link between the city of Oradea and the A3 motorway with a length of 18.96 km.
“Oradea is the economic and cultural centre of western Romania. The motorway connection will better link the rapidly growing city to the primary road network and so contribute to further growth,” says Thomas Birtel, CEO of STRABAG SE.
The contract comprises a dual carriageway with two lanes in each direction separated by a concrete step barrier as well as the construction of twelve buildings and the connection of existing country and state roads. Construction work is scheduled to start in March 2022.
Reliable partner for infrastructure projects in Romania
With this project, STRABAG is making a further contribution to the expansion of Romania’s transportation infrastructure. The company is currently building a section of the A3 motorway from Ungheni to Târgu Mureș. A section between Ungheni and Ogra was already handed over in 2018.
