The construction of the mountain segments of the Sibiu-Pitesti highway in Romania is estimated at RON 9 billion (EUR 1.9 billion), according to a document of the National Company for Road Infrastructure (CNAIR) cited by local Economica.net.

The three new segments are located between the village of Boita, at the entrance to the Olt gorge and Curtea de Arges. CNAIR will send the tender documents to the National Agency for Public Procurement (ANAP) until December for validation.

So far, 17 companies and consortiums have already submitted offers to build the first and the fifth segment of the Sibiu-Pitesti highway. The tenders for these segments were launched in summer. The contracts amount to RON 2.6 billion (EUR 565.4 million).

The Sibiu-Pitesti highway is an important part of the Pan-European Corridor IV, which crosses Romania from West to East. The financing for this highway will come mostly from EU funds.
