How many kilometers of highway completes we hope in 2025: “Only if we pass 1 450 km, even in the most super-optimistic scenario”

The Pro Infrastructure Association announces that Romania could end 2025 with 1,455 kilometers of fast road, “in the most super optimistic scenario ”.

“Road reviews in the middle of the year: we were far too optimistic. Again, the reality shows that we are not far from pessimistic, as some manipulate. On the contrary, we were much, far too optimistic at the beginning of the year: No highway segment It has not opened before our forecast and almost all have (very) great delays to the estimates of January 7th ”wrote the Pro Infrastructure Association, on FB.

According to the quoted source, instead of February-March, LAMA inaugurated Lot 1 of A7 Buzau-Focșani only on July 11.

“I was hoping in February-March at A7 Mizil-Buzău West but the Bulgarians from Trace did … the dust metal table on three structures. The section is completed, but the engineers still quarrel and do not assume the opening. Maybe in August, or September, who knows? northern of the A1 Pitești-Curtea de Argeș highway executed by Webuild I saw it at : It was on June 11. The Greeks from Aktor were waiting for A0 South in May-June and finally we were suffering on June 30. The Dex4 Cup from Tureni made by Dimex-Con-a? Predicted by us in June, inaugurated on July 10. We draw line: In 2025 a little over 55 kilometers of highway and express road were given in traffic”, Says Pro infrastructure.

What will be ready in 2025?

According to Pro Infrastructure, the Turks from Nurol certainly finish the A7 mini-sector near Buzau in November, possibly even October.

“Instead we have big arrears in terms of certainties. Apart from the trace on A7 Mizil-Buzău West, Llamb could have and should have opened in June-July A7 Adjud Belt, especially since it has been promised since 2024. No mention, it will probably be inaugurated with Tișița-Adjud Sud at the end of the year.

In January, we could see that the walk would force the A7 much more powerful and we were hoping for lots 2 and 3 in Focșani-Bacău, complete, 60 km. In addition, I thought there were high chances that he was walking to finish other kilometers on A7 and Dex6 Brăila-Galați. But the reality is very harsh: PLUM does not deliver anything in 2025 on A7 to the north, and DEX6 has extremely small chances, the Hobanat Bridge over Siret being very delayed.

In our forecasts, we gave 50/50 chances for lots 3 (CCECC) and 4 (OMB) of A0 North, as well as on A3 Zimbor-Poarta Sălajului (OMB). It is clear that the Chinese will miss. Instead, I walk on A0 it seems that he wants, and maybe, to finish ”, explains the representatives of the association.

The situation is also similar on A3 north of Zimbor.

“The miracles dreamed of in 2025, Erbașu on A3 and Porr on A1, have evaporated quickly in winter. But both projects are going very well: Erbașu can be ready in the summer of 2026 (within the contract time), as well as PORR (more than 6 months before the deadline). Mizil-Buzău West, A7 Buzău West-Buzău Est, A7 Tișița-Căcăciuni (Focșani-Ultra-optimist but only Tișița-Adjud Nord in the pessimist scenario), A3 Zimbor-Poarta Sălajului and A0 North Lot 4 “, He also supports the infrastructure.

Dorinel Umbrărescu's companies could deliver the Hobanat from Galați on DEX6 and we gather another 11 km, so a theoretical maximum of 130 km.

“At the end of 2024, the network of highways and express roads in the country had reached 1,269.87 km. Unfortunately, the dream remained only a nuc. concluded pro infrastructure.
