Democratic Party informs about launch of Good Roads for Moldova 2 project

Chisinau, 25 September /MOLDPRES/ - The Democratic Party of Moldova (PDM) will launch a project, Good Roads for Moldova 2. PDM leader Vlad Plahotniuc today made statements to this effect after a weekly meeting of the Democrats. 

At a news briefing, the PDM leader said that, under the new project, over 2,600 km of roads are set to be built and repaired in 2019, by 1,000 km more than this year.

„We are happy that the project Good Roads for Moldova is appreciated. Citizens are aware that other governances just were making promises, but the present government carries out concrete actions. Less than 1,000 km of roads were constructed and repaired in Moldova in 2009-2016, which is 140 km annually. At the same time, in 2018 alone, the present governance has managed to repair more than 1,600 km of roads, 12-fold more than the previous governances. These are   absolutely record figures for all governances since getting the Independence. These achievements and appreciations encourage us to give a new scope to this project,” Plahotniuc noted.   

The Democrats’ leader also said that the present governance’s goal was to make available for use over 2,000 km of restored roads annually. “I asked the cabinet colleagues to actively get involved in the fulfillment of this initiative. At the same time, we thank workers and other persons who have contributed to the construction and repair of roads. It is possible for us to achieve concrete results, if we can manage state’s resources. New projects come next and PDM will adapt the formation’s agenda to people’s needs, which actually represents the concept of the party – Pro Moldova,” Vlad Plahotniuc added.   

The Goods Roads for Moldova programme provides for the restoration of more than 1,000 km of roads in Moldova’s settlements. The sum of investments is about 1.6 billion lei – money allocated from the road fund and the state budget.
