The funds allocated for the "Good Roads 2" program will be recalculated, and issued to each settlement on a per capita basis. The statement was issued by Gheorghe Curmei, director of the State Road Administration, after the Road Fund Council meeting.
The State Road Administration commenced works on April 10. According to the Law on the state budget, 950 million lei were foreseen for "Good Roads 2. At the same time, the program value approved by the Road Fund Council is 1,750 billion. "The recalculation will be based on the 950 million amount, as foreseen by the budget. A part of the amount, 280 million lei, is due for the works executed in 2018”, said Gheorghe Curmei.
The 950 million and 1.750 billion difference will be addressed with the help of policy crafted by the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Finance.
