The Interministerial Committee for Public Investment Approval has granted its approval for the Sibiu South Bypass project, alongside three other major national road infrastructure projects. The investment entails developing over 21 kilometers of new route aimed at taking over transit traffic from the southern part of Sibiu, easing congestion, and improving connectivity with the A1 motorway, the DN1 national road, and localities across the metropolitan area.
According to State Secretary Horațiu Cosma, the interministerial committee’s agenda included four major road objectives: the Sibiu South Bypass, the Brașov-Făgăraș Motorway (measuring 49.3 kilometers in length), the Bucharest-Alexandria Motorway, and the DR1 – Vest Expres radial road. The latter, the first radial road designed for the capital city, will span nearly 10 kilometers with two lanes per direction, a dedicated public transit corridor, cycling paths, and Park&Ride intermodal transfer facilities. Securing the interministerial endorsement unblocks the administrative procedure for these projects, with the next formal step being the adoption of technical and economic indicators via Government Decision—a phase that will enable the launch of public tenders to award construction contracts.
