List of highways in Romania

Motorway network (as of 2018)

This list of motorways in Romania gives an overview of the motorway network that is being built in Romania . The total length of all motorways ( Romanian Autostrăzi ; Singular Autostradă ) is 836.47 kilometers according to the National Administration of Transport Infrastructure "CNAIR" (Compania Națională de Administrare a Infrastructurii Rutiere) at the end of 2019 . For 2019, another website confirms 850.24 kilometers of completed motorway. In addition, 172 kilometers of motorway are under construction. The total length of the planned motorway network is still uncertain, as numerous routes are still being planned and the route length is therefore not clear.

A vignette (rovinietă) must be purchased to use all motorways and national roads .

The A3 between Gilău and Turda

The first Romanian motorway was the 113-kilometer stretch from Bucharest to Piteşti , which was built in the 1960s and renewed in 2000. Today the route is part of the A1 .

In 2007, the Piteşti bypass was approved with a length of 15 km. The Hermannstadt bypass followed at the end of 2010 . On July 29, 2011, the first part of the A4 (southern bypass of Constanța ; 7 km) and halfway of the A2 from Constanța to Medgidia (19 km) were opened.

The A1 between Arad and Timișoara was inaugurated in December 2011. After the opening of the 82 km long section of the A1 from Orăştie to Sibiu in December 2013, the 22 km long section from Cunța to Sălişte was closed due to a landslide and road cracks at the Acilliu motorway viaduct , and after about a year of repair work it was reopened in early October 2016. On December 23, 2015, a section (Lot 2) with a length of 23 km from Timișoara to Lugoj was released.

At the end of 2015, the Romanian Institute for Statistics ( Institutul Național de Statistică , INS for short) recorded 64 kilometers more (9.4%) than in 2014. And according to the Romanian Ministry of Transport, another 245 km are to be completed in 2016, making a total of 940 kilometers Autobahn should be completed.

Planning

In the years 2012 to 2014 there were plans to connect the Romanian motorway network to that of the European Union , which took place on July 11, 2015 with the connection to the Hungarian M43 . Originally, the section of the Romanian A3 to Hungary was supposed to be completed in mid-2017 , so that a second connection to Hungary - here with the M4 - will merge, and the section will be completed in mid-August 2020.

In 2012, the section from Deva to Orăştie was to follow on the A1 and was put into operation in spring 2013. Work on the Orăştie - Hermannstadt and Nădlac ( Hungarian border ) - Arad sections began and was completed in late 2014 and mid-2015, respectively. In addition, the construction lot 1 Timișoara - Lugoj should be completed by 2013, was opened to traffic in December 2015. The construction work on construction lot 1 for Lugoj - Deva should also be completed on April 10, 2013, but was finished by Christmas 2013. Two further construction lots in the Lugoj - Deva section are expected to open in 2018 and a final one in 2020. In March 2012, the Sibiu - Piteşti section was to be tendered as a PPP .

In addition, the A3 is to be led from Suplacu de Barcău to the Romanian state border near Borș , where it will connect to the Hungarian M4. The Borș - Suplacu de Barcău section should be open to traffic by 2013, and completion is still unknown. The Gilău - Nădășelu section (approx. 8 km) is to be opened in autumn 2017 to enable the western bypass of Cluj-Napoca (Klausenburg) . Due to delays in construction, the A3 from Comarnic to Brașov (Kronstadt) is expected to be passable in 2020, from Comarnic to Ploiești is unknown.

The first fully completed motorway is the A2 from Bucharest to Constanța on the Black Sea , where it will connect to the local bypass . Another 4 km of the A4, from the triangle with the A2 to national road 3 , was opened on September 25, 2011. The Vltava motorway A7 (originally planned as A5) should begin with the bypassing of Bacău as the first section.

The Romanian Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure is planning further plans for the construction of around 1,300 kilometers of motorway, at an estimated price of around EUR 13,739.17 million.
