The government needs about €900 million more to rehabilitate the major network of roads. If speaking about the whole network of national roads, which constitutes over €3,300 km, a sum of 1.6 billion is needed for repairing it, IPN reports, quoting estimates of the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure.

Approximately 258 km of national roads have been rehabilitated with foreign funds since 2009. Currently, 212 km of national roads are under repair, while for 122 km of road there are held tender contests to select the contractors.

About 150 km of national and local roads were rehabilitated with money from the Road Fund. There were performed medium-level works to repair 511 km of public roads.

The major network defined in the Transport and Logistics Strategy for 2013-2022 consists of over 1.700 km of public roads. A sum of 2.092 billion lei was invested in it in 2014.

In an interview for IPN earlier, Vladimir Florea, managing co-chairman of the Union of Transporters and Road Workers said that owing to the bad roads the Moldovan carriers suffer losses of one euro per every kilometer covered.
