The Government consented to modifying the program on the distribution of the resources of the 2014 Road Fund with a view to rehabilitating more local roads that ensure access to social-economic institutions, IPN reports.

Minister of Transport and Road Infrastructure Vasile Botnari said this became possible following the change of the source for financing the works to repair the Orhei-Rezina road, which will be completed with money provided by the European Investment Bank.

“The 100 million lei earmarked in the Road Fund for the rehabilitation of the Orhei-Rezina road will be redirected for repairing more local roads going to social-economic facilities and for maintaining the public roads in winter,” stated the minister.

The Government decided to allocate 10.1 million lei for repairing a number of local roads. The money will be distributed based on the proposals submitted by the local public administration. A sum of 89.9 million lei will be allocated for maintaining the roads in winter.
