The local roads in 24 settlements of Briceni district will be repaired this year. A sum of 11 million lei was allocated from the Road Fund for the purpose, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué of the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure. Most of the mayor’s offices started to hold tender contests to select the contractors that will execute the works.
