The project of the Iasi-Chisinau railroad segment modernization by means of its electrification and transfer to the European gauge will be implemented in 4 years.
This was stated by the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development Andrei Spinu in an interview with Deutsche Welle. "We have a project at the final stage with the French Development Agency, which has identified resources to restore the Iasi-Chisinau railway section through its electrification and transition from the Soviet gauge to the European one. Or we could have double gauge. I believe that at the beginning of 2023, an agreement will be signed to begin research, design and construction in this regard. The real term of implementation of this project is 4 years," noted Andrei Spinu. Earlier it was reported that the French Development Agency (AFD) will provide technical and financial assistance worth over 60 million euros for the modernization of the energy and railway sectors in Moldova. // 14.12.2022 – InfoMarket
