The committee for the surveillance of the project to support the road and railway sectors program analyzed the results achieved in the rehabilitation of the national road M3 Chisinau – Giurgiulesti and decided to coordinate the termination of the contract for the repair of the sections between 151 – 171 and 179 – 190 kilometers. Only 2.64% of the road was rehabilitated, while the execution guarantee expired on April 24, IPN has learned from the Government’s press service.
There was also coordinated the termination of the contract for the repair of the sections of the M3 national road between 96 – 122 and 122 – 151 kilometers if a sufficient progress rate for completing the works by the end of this year is not achieved by the May 15 deadline. These are the first contracts of the kind that are to be terminated by the Government owing to inappropriate implementation.
“It is regrettable that such a situation is witnessed. Time was lost and the road hasn’t been repaired. We must be more cautious in this regard in the future,” stated Prime Minister Pavel Filip.
The meeting also discussed the progress made in rehabilitating the national road R33 Hancesti - Lapusna-M1. The representatives of the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure reported a series of difficulties caused by the unauthorized construction of a lake near the road. These lead to delays in implementing the project and to higher costs. The committee decided to make a request to examine the created situation to the Prosecutor General’s Office.
The reformation of the state-run company “Moldova’s Railways” was another subject for discussion. According to the presented information, the roadmap and the plan of action concerning the collective government of the company were drafted and will be soon submitted to the Government for approval. The measure would ensure the restructuring and modernization of the institution.
