Description
The A1 motorway (Romanian: Autostrada A1) is a motorway in Romania, planned to connect Bucharest with the Banat and Crișana regions in the western part of the country. It will be approximately 581 km long and will follow the route: Pitești, Sibiu, Orăștie, Deva, Timișoara, Arad, connecting with Hungary's M43 motorway near Nădlac. It is part of the Pan-European Corridor IV. It is also the Priority Project 7 of the Trans-European Transport Networks, and construction receives 85% funding from the European Union Cohesion Fund.
As of November 2014, the sections in service include a 110-kilometer long motorway linking Bucharest with Pitești, the Sibiu – Deva segment (132 km), the Traian Vuia – Balinț segment (17.1 km), the Timișoara – Arad motorway (54 km, in the western part of Romania) and the Pecica – Nădlac segment (28.5 km). The total length of the opened sections is 341 km, with another 91 km under construction.
The Bucharest – Pitești segment of the motorway (95.9 km) was the first to be built in Romania. It was constructed between 1967 and 1972, during the communist regime. It remained the only motorway-class road in Romania for more than 15 years, until the completion of the Fetești – Cernavodă segment (on today's A2) in 1987. It underwent a major rehabilitation between 1997 and 2000, by the FAT joint venture between the Italian companies Federici, Astaldi and Todini. This motorway segment has 15 exits and 5 filling stations in each way, that operate as service areas.
