Chisinau, 3 October /MOLDPRES/ - A number of 1,000 km of roads out of all the ones included in the Good Roads for Moldova programme, or 80 per cent, have been already rehabilitated and the works on other roads are to be completed till late October. Economics and Infrastructure Minister Chiril Gaburici today presented data to this effect.

The economics minister noted that the roads leading to schools, kindergartens and first-aid posts had been repaired as priority and the beneficiary settlements had been selected no matter the political affiliation of their mayors.

„No road segment has been made available for use without the technical expertise of the State Administration of Roads. The guarantee is of one year and the forthcoming winter will be the first test. If irregularities are discovered, all entrepreneurs will go to the road segment with irregularities and it will be repaired,” Gaburici specified.

The economics minister also said that there was difference between the restored roads and those which are under maintenance. “Maintenance works are carried out each year. The network of national roads has more than 9,000 km, which are maintained each year,” Gaburici said.

Director General of the State Administration of Roads Gheorghe Curmei said that the contracts adjudged to entrepreneurs had been providing for guarantees and a sum of ten per cent of the contract’s value had been retained, given that, if defects appear, the entrepreneur should be obliged to remedy them.

The network of public roads from Moldova includes over 9,400 km, of which about 6,000 km of national roads and 3,400 km of district interest local roads. The local roads of village interest have a length of 30,000 km.

The Goods Roads for Moldova programme was initiated in last March. Today, Chiril Gaburici informed about the launch of the Goods Roads for Moldova programme 2, within which 1,500 km of roads are to be repaired in 2019.
