Prime Minister Ludovic Orban said on Wednesday that an order for the works to be started on the Craiova-Pitesti expressway will be given, adding that the expressway is an investment that has been untouched since 2008.
He added that it is a commitment made by the government of Romania and the order to start the works will "certainly" be given.
"Because Ford demanded, as it has a very large production of cars, they needed to transport those cars, they asked for this expressway on the pan-European corridor IV. And we committed ourselves to doing that. We have done the feasibility study, I approved the technical-economic indicators, I think it lasted a year. I prepared the tender documentation but between 2008 and 2019 almost nothing was done. But now we will definitely give the order to start the works (...)" Orban said.
