Chisinau, 14 December /MOLDPRES/ - More than 1,000 settlements have benefited from the Good Roads project and their number will increase next year. Prime Minister Pavel Filip made statements to this effect while unveiling the government’s action programme for 2016-2018 in parliament today.
The PM stressed that the Good Roads project had been launched this year; yet, the governance has managed to achieve important results for citizens. “Before coming to power, during seven years, less than 1,000 km of roads were repaired, which is by 140 km per year. This year, we talk about 1,600 km and almost two billion lei invested. For 2019, we have planned another 2,600 km due to enter repairs,” Filip noted.
The official said that the current cabinet had carried out important projects on water and sewerage infrastructure. “In the last two years, more than 106,000 beneficiaries have been connected to the water network, which means 53,000 per year - seven-fold more than during the previous governances. For 2019, we set the goal twice as much serious: 100,000 people connected,” Pavel Filip added.
