Trolley route 4 extended

The trolley route no.4 was extended on Independentei Street, Chisinau’s Botanica district, from the former final station on Hristo Botev Street to Dacia Boulevard. The inauguration of the trolley line took place on May 23, at the crossing of Independentei Street and Traian Boulevard. This way, there were introduced on this route the following intermediary trolleybus stops: in one direction – “Arizona” Commercial Centre, “Cvin” supermarket, Cuza Voda Boulevard, Traian Boulevard and Teilor Street; back – Independentei Street, Traian Boulevard, Cuza-Voda Boulevard and “Arizona” Comercial Centre. According to a press release from the Chisinau City Hall, the head of the Electric Networks of the Chisinau Electric Transport Management (RTEC), Anatol Melnic said that the length of the electric wires put into service is 3.8 km. The designing and construction works of the line amount to MDL 7.8 mln and were financed by the municipal budget. The company which mounted the line was “Compania Electrica” JSC, and the construction materials were purchased from Ukraine and the Russian Federation. On the occasion of route’s expansion, 4 more trolleybuses will run on it. The trolleybuses were re-equipped at RTEC. To implement the project of the new trolley line, the City Hall has made in short time – two months – a considerable volume of works. Many booths were removed from the zone, the roadway was expanded and the sidewalks were paved, the green spaces in the zone were cleaned up and new power pillars and lines were installed. Many Chisinau residents have remarked the electoral character of this project, as it is linked to the name of the candidate for Chisinau Mayor on behalf of the ruling party. In the same context can be included the participation in the inauguration festivity of the trolleybus line of President Vladimir Voronin, and other key officials working in the local public administration.
