This was announced by the State Secretary of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure of Romania, Irinel Ionel Scriosteanu, noting that, at the invitation of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development of Moldova, he recently visited Chisinau to discuss transport infrastructure projects. "During the discussions on the stage of implementation of the railway and road projects that will connect Romania and Moldova, we analyzed the condition of the Unirii A8 highway, as well as the section of the road that will connect Ungheni (Romania) and Chisinau (Moldova). Our common goal is to be able to travel from Bucharest to Chisinau on a modern highway in 2030," Irinel Ionel Scriosteanu emphasized.
