Moldova is taking concrete steps towards building its first-ever highway, a section of the A8 motorway. The National Road Administration of Moldova has launched a tender for a feasibility study for a 125-kilometer stretch between Ungheni and Budești. This segment represents a crucial part of a larger route connecting Târgu Mureș in Romania, through Ungheni and Chișinău in Moldova, and extending to Odesa in Ukraine. The project aims to improve regional connectivity and facilitate transportation between the three countries. The planned A8 highway is a significant infrastructure development for Moldova, potentially boosting economic growth and trade. The estimated contract value has not yet been disclosed. This initiative signifies Moldova's commitment to integrating further with the European transport network.
