The National Commission for Strategy and Prognosis (CNSP) of the Government of Romania has received the sole bid of Chinese - Turkish consortium, CCCC - Makyol, after other four bidders opted to back out from participating in the tender for the development of Ploiesti-Comarnic-Braşov motorway project.
The EUR1.36 billion (US$1.6 billion) project will be implemented under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) for 24-year concession term. Development works include the construction, financing, and operation of a roughly 120km section of the planned A3 motorway, which will link Romania's capital Bucharest to the Transylvania and north-west regions of the country.
The project which will be the first PPP project in Romania includes 14 viaducts and 33 bridges with a total length of approximately 3km, and a 2.6km tunnel.
