ESTIMATED DATE OF COMPLETION OF THE PLANNED MOTORWAY SEGMENTS IN THE CENTRAL, NORTH-WESTERN AND WESTERN REGIONS OF ROMANIA

摘要

Romania's highways are standing ahead of considerably high investments. In the last few decades the transport infrastructure has been pushed into the background due to lack of financial support. The 21st Century has brought important breakthroughs in the building of highways. In the report on global risks in 2013 published by WEF (World Economic Forum) the "The prolonged neglect of infrastructure" is being considered such a risk. Our study focuses on the construction works that have been carried out in the Central, NorthWestern and Western regions of Romania. The highways of the above mentioned regions will be analysed based on three main points of focus: highways that have already been built, highways currently under construction and highways that are planned to be built. The aim is to present and compare the 3 regions' highway infrastructure, determination of an approximate end date for the highways that are currently under construction. It has been concluded, that until 2013 the construction work on segments funded by the EU progressed much faster, than the ones funded by the government. The results of the study refer to how soon could the construction works reach an end on segments currently in progress.
