Boc said the Bucharest-Ploiesti highway is divided into two segments, namely Bucharest-Moara Vlasiei (19.5 kilometers) and Moara Vlasiei-Ploiesti (42.5 kilometers), adding works are due for completion in 2010.

The prime minister also said authorities plan to set off construction works on the Comarnic-Brasov highway segment and upgrade works on national road 71, linking Sinaia to Targoviste.

Mid-January 2010, Romanian Transport Minister Radu Berceanu, French construction group Vinci and Greek construction company Aktor signed a lease-based construction contract for the highway segment linking Comarnic to Brasov in central Romania.

Construction works on the Comarnic-Brasov highway will be finished until January 2014 and will cost Romania EUR4.8 billion.
