The contract, which was signed in the presence of the country’s prime minister and the minister of transport, has a planned duration of 60 months, with 12 months allocated for design and 48 for construction.
The client is CNAIR, a state-owned company under the responsibility of the Romania’s Ministry of Transport & Infrastructure. Astaldi is already engaged in other projects for the same client, including the Braila Bridge, a 2km suspension crossing of the Danube.
The latest contract award brings the value of Astaldi’s order backlog in Romania to more than €1bn.
