The Moldovan government is preparing to build a high-speed highway that will connect the border with Romania and run to Odesa. Doina Nistor, Deputy Prime Minister and Head of the Ministry of Economy of Moldova, said this at the opening of Moldova Business Week.
Currently, a feasibility study is being prepared to determine the possible route of the road and whether parts of the new route will use existing roads.
In addition, Moldova is modernizing both rail and road corridors. The feasibility study for the Ungheni-Chisinau-Odesa corridor is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025.
The road will be of particular importance for Ukraine’s reconstruction, as it will help shorten routes, reduce logistics costs and increase the resilience of supply routes.
Once the feasibility study is completed, a final decision on the route and construction details will be made. The project will depend on funding, international support, and cooperation between the governments of Moldova and Ukraine (and possibly Romania).
