STRABAG continues to develop A3 motorway in Romania for € 85 million
15.7 km between the cities of Câmpia Turzii and Chețani
Construction time of 18 months in consortium with Geiger
Already the third follow-up order on the Borș–Brașov section
Bucharest, 27 October 2022 STRABAG, the European construction technology group, has been awarded another key contract in Romania. Together with consortium partner GEIGER, STRABAG will build a 15.7 km long section of the A3 motorway between Câmpia Turzii and Chețani for € 85 million (STRABAG’s share: 60 %). Construction is scheduled to start in 2022 and will take around 18 months.
“This contract further strengthens our leading market position in Romania,” says Thomas Birtel, CEO of STRABAG SE. “We have already built two sections of the A3 and this project represents a further contribution on our part to the expansion of the motorway infrastructure in Romania.”
In 2018, STRABAG completed the 10.1 km section between Ungheni and Ogra, followed by the construction of a 9.2 km section from Ungheni to Târgu Mureș (completion in 2021). In addition, STRABAG is currently building the nearly 19 km long bypass from Oradea to the A3 at a cost of approx. € 110 million.
When completed, the A3 will cover 588 kilometres from the Romanian capital of Bucharest via the commercial centres of Ploiești, Brașov, Cluj-Napoca and Oradea to Borș on the Hungarian border, where it will connect to Hungary’s M4 motorway.
