The national road M1 will be repaired on a section of almost 38 kilometers, from the Leușeni border crossing point towards Nisporeni. The National Road Administration has launched the tender for the designation of the company that will carry out the works financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, reports IPN.

According to AND, the contract is divided into two lots. The first targets the rehabilitation of an 8.2 kilometer section, in the area of the localities Leuseni, Cotul Morii, and Sarateni. The second lot includes a segment of 29.6 kilometers that crosses the localities of Onesti, Costesti, Bujor, Chetroseni, Miresti, Mirzoaia, Cristesti, and Iurceni.

The project involves the construction of a new concrete roadway, earthworks, drainage system arrangements, building of retaining walls, rehabilitation of bridges and culverts, as well as marking and signaling works. Depending on the specifics of each section, two, three or four traffic lanes will be arranged, along with roundabouts, sidewalks, and public transport stations.

The estimated duration for the execution of the works is approximately 2 and a half years. Interested companies can submit their offers until September 30, 2026, through the EBRD’s electronic procurement platform.
