Last 21st September 2022, the official opening to traffic of the Singerei bypass took place. The new section is part of the Chisinau-Orhei-Balti highway (R6), a project that is being financed by the EBRD.

The whole scheme is part of the Moldova Road Sector Program, which is co-financed by the EBRD and the EIB and, more specifically, this rehabilitated 12-kilometres section is part of the contract “Supervision of Rehabilitation Works of R6 Chisinau – Orhei – Balti Road, km 99+530 – km 111+230, km 76+700 – km 94+700 and Bridge at km 72+944”, which was signed by IRD Engineering in late 2019.

The consultancy services contract aimed at providing works supervision for the rehabilitation of these 2 Lots:

  • Lot 1: RSP/Wll/01: Rehabilitation of R6 Chisinau-Orhei-Balti Road km 99+530 – km 111+230 (Singerei Bypass), and
  • Lot 2: RSP/Wl 1/02: Rehabilitation of R6 Chisinau-Orhei-Balti Road km 76+700 – km 94+700 and bridge at km 72+944.

The event received wide media coverage and counted on the participation of the Secretary General at the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development of the Republic Moldova, the Mayor of Singerei, officials from the State Road Administration and representatives of IRD Engineering.

“The construction of this road has been carried out to the highest standards. I assure you that we have received a very high-quality result and this road will be long-lasting,” declared Dr. Francesco Rucci, Country Manager of IRD Engineering in Moldova.

“Thanks to everyone who made possible to complete this work. In addition to the benefits it will bring to the residents of the region, this road section will have a major impact in increasing road safety and in decongesting traffic in the area,” said Mrs. Lilia Dabija, Secretary General at the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development.
