“We need to move away from contracts focused on repairing potholes towards works contracts, under which companies will take responsibility for the quality and condition of the road sections they maintain, as well as for meeting deadlines, rather than merely carrying out specific tasks,” stated Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development Vladimir Bolea.
Speaking at the DRUMBUN 2026 forum taking place in Chișinău, Bolea highlighted the need to modernise the regulatory framework in this area so that the standards and practices used in the Republic of Moldova comply with European requirements and help improve the quality of work.
As a result, discussions at the event centred on the exchange of experience and best practices in the management, operation and maintenance of roads, the presentation of modern technologies and solutions for their construction and reconstruction, as well as the development of international partnerships between public authorities, companies and financial institutions, including within the framework of road infrastructure projects.
Speaking about priorities in this area for 2027, Vladimir Bolya mentioned the completion of the Hîncești–Cantemir road, the opening of 33 km of repaired road in the Soroca district, and the start of work on the Chimishlia urban ring road.
