Construction on the first 24 kilometers of Romania’s A8 highway, connecting Târgu Mureș and Miercurea Nirajului, has exceeded 50% completion. The project, part of the larger “Unirii” (Union) highway, is witnessing significant mobilization of workers and machinery. Asphalt laying has commenced, indicating substantial progress. According to Horatiu Cosma, a state secretary within the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, the project remains on schedule. This section of the A8 highway is a key component of Romania’s infrastructure development plans. The ongoing work suggests potential for opening the first segments to traffic in the near future, though a specific date hasn’t been announced. The accelerated pace of construction signals a commitment to improving transportation links within the country.
