In the village of Zaim, Prime Minister Dorin Recean inspected the repair works on the R26 Bender - Căușeni - Cimișlia road, as well as the railway section between the city of Căușeni and the village of Zaim, which has been extensively renovated.

The repair of the R26 Bender - Căușeni - Cimișlia road is taking place in three segments, with a total of 22.4 kilometers of road being rehabilitated. Additionally, renovation works are being carried out on all the bridges located on these road sectors.

"It is a long-awaited project by the locals. For years, this route was almost impassable, but now, thanks to the renovation works, it will become a European standard road," mentioned Prime Minister Dorin Recean.

Regarding the progress of the works, the Prime Minister discussed with the leadership of the State Roads Administration and the construction managers of the three road segments. On two of them, the works are practically completed, while on another segment - the progress is at 11%. The Prime Minister requested exemplary mobilisation and timely completion of all works.

The national public road network in the Căușeni district comprises 282.96 km, with road works planned this year amounting to 251.53 million lei.

"Besides the already constructed 700 km of roads, this year, the Government is building and modernizing over 600 kilometers of local and regional roads, most of which have never been repaired since independence. We will continue to invest in infrastructure and seek financial resources to transform Moldova, with care for the people," stated Prime Minister Dorin Recean.

He also visited the railway section between the city of Căușeni and the village of Zaim, which was renovated as part of the project to rehabilitate the railway infrastructure on the Bender - Căușeni - Basarabeasca - Giurgiulești section.
