This road will solve the problem of heavy traffic in the Metropolitan Area of Oradea and I think it is a good thing that it has been completed, beneficial both for the residents of Bihor and for those who transit our county. The final arrangements are being made, for safety and signaling elements (markings, indicators, protective parapets, lighting) and various works outside the roadway part, but we are waiting for the decision of the National Road Infrastructure Administration Company (CNAIR)”, declared for Agerpres, Mircea Mălan, responsible in the CJ for the Technical Directorate, Projects with European funding and the Environment.
