The Moldovan Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure is investing €150 million to upgrade and refurbish 200km of the country’s major highway links.

This funding is coming through a loan being provided by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

In addition, the US Government’s Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is investing US$132 million in its Moldovan Compact agreement to improve a 93km section of the M2 and R9 roads between Sarateni and the city of Soroca. The EBRD loan will be used to improve sections of the R33 Hincesti-Lapusna-M1 road to the Romanian border and the R14 Balti-Sarenteni transport link between the capital Chisinau and Moldova’s second largest city Balti.

The EBRD loan will also be used for the R9 Soroca-Arionesti road in the north of the
country and the R34 Hincesti-Leova-Cantemir road in the south. In addition, this loan will help to fund the new 17km M3 Slobozia Mare bypass. A consortium of international contractors has already commenced work on several of Moldova’s road construction and repair projects, with a fleet of 18 5895 New Holland machines already being used on site. Among the equipment that has been ordered are two F156.7A graders, two W300C wheeled loaders, four W190C loaders, two WE150B wheeled excavators, four B115C backhoe loaders and four L220 skid steer loaders.
