Video what the delayed section looks like on the Transilvania Highway where Umbrărescu works: an opening in 2025 “is still in books”

A section of the Transylvania Highway will be ready in 2025, but “the ones from the PLAB must bring enough workers” and if the authorities will solve the necessary bureaucracy, the Pro infrastructure that filmed the lots from the drone.

In total, it is 27 kilometers, the section between the Node Sălajului (Romanian) and a provisional connection A3-DN1F south of Topa Mică.

“We visited the sites again and we can say that the end of 2025 is still in books. But for this, the ones from the walk must bring enough workers between the small top and ZIMBOR where they are behind several structures. Currently there are only a few scrape teams,” says the Pro Infrastructure Association (API) in the most involved in the country.

What does A3 Nădășelu – Zimbor – the Sălaj Gate look now

In total, on the Transilvania Highway Work works on 42.3 km between Nădășelu, Zimbor and the Sălaj Gate. Due to large landslides on the first section, CNAIR has bid and contracted separately the relocation of the route and making longer viaducts, a contract won by a company from Turkey.

“On the Zimbor-Poarta Sălaj sector, the entrepreneur is well mobilized and it seems that he wants to get rid of this piece in 2025. However, it is working and must finish the design as quickly as possible to issue the building permit in the Romanian node (Gate of Sălaj),” explains API.

“The only major novelty of the last month is the advance on some areas where the start of the asphalting campaign is announced, after the Easter break. Unfortunately, most such segments are between Nădășelu and Topa Mic. Section which, even if they were ready to be inaugurated in 2025, will be a museum (unusable) in the absence of the viaducts that have not started,” consider the association.

According to her, “the builder but also CNAIR should make all the technical and bureaucratic efforts on the small-fee-feast of Sălaj to open the 27 kilometers at the end of 2025”.

“Especially since we are talking about very large delays, a stain on the coat of arms of the PLA: contracts signed in July, respectively December 2020, with works started in the trumpet in 2021, and now we have come to be given in traffic (partially!) At the end of 2025,” says Pro Infrastructure.

The A3 Nădășelu – Mihăiești – Zimbor Highway – a difficult section that hit the landslides

Walk works in the field since 2021 at the 42.3 km of A3 Nădășelu-Mihăiești-Zimbor, but in two critical points-in Nădășelu and Topa Mică-the hills took it down because the technical solutions designed according to the initial feasibility study did not match the reality in the field.
