The additional funds to the Road Fund amounting to one billion lei will be used for redistributing financial resources across different expenditure chapters and for including regional road sectors with the "G" index in the repair program.
These works will cover approximately 123 kilometers of regional roads, contributing to maintaining road infrastructure at adequate standards and ensuring safe traffic conditions, according to Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development (MIDR) Vladimir Bolea, who made the statements at a press conference today.
Vladimir Bolea announced the main changes to the Program for the distribution of road fund resources for national public roads for 2025.
"This initiative marks an important step in modernizing the country's road infrastructure, with a particular focus on completing works initiated in previous years and improving regional connectivity", the official estimated.
According to the deputy prime minister, the Government of the Republic of Moldova has allocated significant additional financial resources for 2025.
Thus, from the additional billion lei, 708 million lei are directed towards rehabilitating 54 sections of G-type roads, covering a total length of 123 kilometers. The remaining funds will be used for current summer and winter maintenance, snow removal, patching, periodic repairs, rehabilitation of bridges and culverts, interventions for road safety, and co-financing road construction projects carried out with support from external partners such as the World Bank, EBRD and EIB.
The Minister emphasized that, besides these investments in national roads, an absolute premiere is the allocation of 500 million lei from the supplementary budget for the restoration of local roads, managed by first-level local administrations. Details on the distribution of these funds, based on the analysis of approximately 597 applications, will be publicly communicated next week.
The cabinet of ministers approved yesterday the increase of the budget for the repair and maintenance of national public roads. The additional amount of 1 billion lei, allocated through the Budget PLUS, will be included in the Road Fund, which will amount to almost 2.7 billion lei in total.
The money will be used for current maintenance in summer and winter, services for periodic maintenance, and the repair of roads and bridges. Also, funds will be redirected towards the rehabilitation of important regional and national roads and for the acquisition of modern equipment necessary for the maintenance and monitoring of the road network.
Recently, Prime Minister Dorin Recean announced a budget of 3.2 billion lei, allocated this year, for the rehabilitation, reconstruction, and maintenance of roads in the Republic of Moldova. Thus, in 2025, 600 kilometers of roads will be constructed and modernized. Additionally, 500 million lei will be allocated for local roads.
