In the last five years, Romania gave 30 billion lei for 180 km of highway. In the previous five years, the same number of kilometers of highway cost 12 billion lei. The analysis based on the data in these years is relevant because the budget of the road company spent in one year is reflected over a longer period, in the reality of the number of kilometers of highway, writes Ziarul Financiar. Romania has 997 km of highway at the moment, almost half that of Hungary, although it has 2.5 times the area.
What else can be saved?
“We still need to build road infrastructure. The data shows that we have had no problems with money. It was not the lack of money that was the problem, but the construction itself. These differences can be justified by increases in construction materials, other costs, but cannot be fully justified. The quality of the work is very important”said Alex Vîlvoi, founder of the Romania Without Potholes Association, for Aleph News.
