Romania received eight bids for the last segment of the Unirii Highway between Iași and Ungheni, a project financed through the European Union’s Security Action for Europe (SAFE) programme. The 15.5‑km stretch, costing 4.7 billion lei, will take 46 months to complete, including 14 bridges, two tunnels and two major road nodes. The contract also covers a 5‑km motorway segment in Moldova, extending the highway beyond the Prut. Director Gabriel Budescu said the agreement must be signed by the end of May and that contractors completing the Moldovan section within 18 months will receive bonus points. The project is part of a broader EU‑funded effort to strengthen cross‑border infrastructure and support regional defence connectivity.
