Prime Minister Ion Chicu today inspected the march of works to improve the Corridor 11, which makes connection between the villages Peresecina, Miclesti, Isnovat and Hârtopul Mare from the central Criuleni district.  

According to the government’s communication and protocol department, the PM showed content with the quality of works carried out, noting the strategic importance of the road, which ensures the connection between the central and northern regions of Moldova.  

„This is a very important road for the Criuleni district and more settlements. This is qualitative road, which nicely changed the settlements’ image. This is a good impetus for the development of the settlements and I think that this is a start of the capital reconstruction of the infrastructure of roads from all over the country,’’ the prime minister said.
 

Under the contracts signed in May 2019, the works were divided into two segments. The first segment, with a length of 18.7 km, has been finished at a level of about 97 per cent and its value is of 99.8 million lei. The second segment of 8.9 km registers a 99-per cent progress and its value amounts to 63.3 million lei.  

Sidewalks, road cloth and ditches for water’s evacuation were rehabilitated within the programme. Also, 21 small bridges and a bridge were built. The roads are scheduled to be made available for use on16 November.

The Corridor 11 was improved based on the Project on improvement of local roads. The World Bank provided Moldova with a loan worth 80 million dollars for a five-year term for financing the works of restoring and modernizing about 300 km of local roads; the term of the agreement’s carrying out is 15 years.
