When will the most expensive county road in Romania, Transapuseana, built partly with European funds, be accepted. The road crosses the Trascău Mountains

Transapuseana, one of the most impressive roads in Romania, also considered the most expensive county road (called DJ 107 I) in the country, has been completed and is due to be delivered by the end of this month.

The road crosses the ridges of the Trascău mountains and is 78 kilometers long. It cost around 73 million euros and was partly realized with European funds.

County road 107I of Alba county, known as Transapuseana, is considered one of the most spectacular mountain roads in Romania. The section connects the municipality of Aiud (highway A10) and the area of Bucium (Abrud – DN 74).

“The road crosses one of the poorest areas in Romania, from Aiud-Râmeţ-Ponor-Mogoş-Bucium and is an opportunity for the economic and tourist development of the area. Already, on this road thousands of tourists cross it by car, but it is a special attraction for motorcyclists”, note the journalists from Ziarul Unirea.

“We started the road modernization project with the idea of developing such a beautiful area of Apuseni, giving those who have lived here for a long time an opportunity to rebuild alongside active people who are dedicated to the communities they come from them. Through Transapusena, we show all Romanians what beautiful things we have in Alba County”has declared the president of Alba County Council (CJ), Ion Dumitrel.

Alba County Council vice-president Marius Haţegan, for the quoted announcement, declared that the acceptance of lot 2 will be done at the end of September.

“The builder, who did an excellent job, respecting the delivery deadlines and the very high quality standards, will request the establishment of the reception after the completion of the work. The acceptance in question cannot be made later than September 30, 2024”, said Haţegan.

According to vice president CJ Alba, over 46,000 tonnes of asphalt concrete, over 71,000 tonnes of binder layer, over 64,000 cubic meters of broken stone for foundations and over 35,000 meters of metal parapet were used to build the road. Also, the amount of concrete used for consolidation work was 35,202 cubic metres.
