Rom\u00e2nia could open new sections of the Transylvania Motorway (A3) on the Cluj-Oradea route to traffic by the end of this year, a measure expected to absorb a significant share of traffic from DN1. According to representatives of the National Company for Road Infrastructure Administration (CNAIR), completing ongoing projects will ensure a high-speed road link along nearly the entire route between the Hungarian border (Bor\u0219) and Cluj-Napoca.<\/p>\n
Following the opening of the Zimbor-Poarta S\u0103lajului section on August 11, 2026, authorities are targeting the inauguration of the Chiribi\u0219-Suplacu de Barc\u0103u (Bihor County) and N\u0103d\u0103\u0219elu-Zimbor (Cluj and S\u0103laj counties) segments. In Bihor County, works on the viaduct over the Suplacu de Barc\u0103u reservoir have reached an 85% physical progress rate, with asphalt laying underway. Concurrently, execution on the Chiribi\u0219-Biharia section (approx. 30 km) stands at 71%, with prospects for completion early next year, ahead of the contractual deadline. On the Cluj-Oradea route, the remaining critical link is the Nu\u0219fal\u0103u-Poarta S\u0103lajului section (approx. 40 km), which includes the Mese\u0219 tunnel (nearly 3 km) and has an estimated completion date of 2031. Romania currently has over 1,400 kilometers of operational motorways and expressways.<\/p>\n
