The viaduct will cross the swampy area and the railway from Cleja, as part of the Adjud-Bacău section of the A7 Moldova Motorway, and the Romanian builder Dorinel Umbrărescu is working at a fast pace to complete it, according to Profit.
This month, on the construction site of the Bacău-Pașcani section, more than 600 workers and approximately 400 dump trucks and machines were mobilized. In the Pașcani vortex node area, the material warehouse is being set up, with the physical stage of execution exceeding 40% on lots 2 and 3.
On the Focșani-Bacău section, teams of workers and machines are working on paving the last kilometers of lot 2, Sascut-Berești sector (Bacău county).
According to the cited source, on the 21.78 km of lot 2, which are not yet open to traffic (Adjud – Răcăciuni sector), UMB Spedition is mobilizing over 350 people and 100 machines, carrying out several types of work simultaneously.
The A7 highway, financed by PNRR, will connect Moldova with Muntenia and will reach the border with Ukraine, having almost 440 km to complete.
Race against the clock to save money from PNRR
Approximately 120 kilometers of the Moldova Motorway (A7) must be completed by August 2026, the deadline established by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Of these, about 96 kilometers are fully financed from non-refundable funds of the European Union, through the grant component of PNRR, which makes compliance with the execution schedule essential to avoid the loss of these resources.
The most advanced section left in the works is the one of about 22 kilometers between Adjud Nord and Răcăciuni, part of Lot 2 Focșani – Bacău. Less than half of this lot had been opened as of December 2024, and recent drone footage shows construction on the rest of the stretch and work well advanced.
This project represents the first fully operational highway in Romania and is considered strategic for the development of infrastructure in Moldova.
Given that the physical stage of the works has reached 95%, the Pro Infrastructure Association claims that traffic can be opened on this segment until the end of April, if the authorities so wish. However, the authorities remain cautious. Contacted by “Adevărul”, the spokesperson of the National Road Infrastructure Administration Company, Alin Șerbănescu, stated that all lots financed by PNRR grants have an execution deadline of August 2026.
“August 2026 for the section from Adjud to Mircești, those that are on PNRR grants. From Mircești to Pașcani (lot 3) from the Bacău-Pașcani section, which remained on PNRR loan, after August, but still 2026”, Alin Șerbănescu, spokesperson of CNAIR, declared for “Adevărul”.
