“We expect that this study will make a significant contribution to the study of the past and provide valuable information that will enable safe construction works,” said Sergiu Popovici, Acting Director of the National Archaeological Agency.
The project includes the construction of a 97-kilometer-long water pipeline along the route Cahul – Lebedenco – Pelinei – Havanoasa – Vulcanesti – Alexandru Ioan Cuza. It is also about the expansion of the water supply system in the settlements of Pelinei, Setuc, Gavanoasa, Vladimirovka, Nikolaevca (Cahul district) and at the Vulcanesti Railway Station.
