The Bacău–Sibiu Motorway (Romanian: Autostrada Bacău–Sibiu) is a planned motorway in the central part of Romania, designed to connect the cities of Bacău and Sibiu via Brașov.[1] The project is currently regarded as composed of three sections (Bacău–Brașov, a new motorway route, Brașov–Făgăraș, part of the A3 motorway, and Făgăraș–Sibiu, also a new motorway route) and they are planned to be 285 kilometres (177 mi) long and will partly be labeled as the A13.[1]

From Sibiu, it will follow the Olt River valley, and will junction with A1 south of Sibiu before running through Avrig, Cârțișoara, Voila to a junction with A3 east of Făgăraş, with which it intersects until west of Brașov, where there's another junction with A3. From Brașov, the motorway will cross through the plains of the Szekely Land (Ținutul Secuiesc), reaching the cities of Sfântu Gheorghe and Târgu Secuiesc, then cross the Carpathians through the Oituz Pass to reach Onești, then the junction with A7 near Bacău.

History and status

Bacău–Brașov section

This 165 km (103 mi) long section is also the most difficult section to build, as it crosses the Carpathians. Initially labeled as A5 before being united with the Brașov–Făgăraș–Sibiu motorway,[1][2] the section has a estimated construction cost of over €2 billion.[3] The contract for the feasibility study and the technical project of this section of the motorway was signed in May 2020.[4]

Brașov–Făgăraș–Sibiu section

This 120 km (75 mi) long section was initially planned as an expressway as an alternative to the National Road 1 (DN1) between Făgăraș and Sibiu at 72.57 kilometres (45.09 mi) long and with an estimated cost of 614 mill. €.[5] In 2013, the Romanian government has reportedly changed the plans in order to provide the connection from Sibiu to Bucharest alternative to A1 via Pitești as part of the Trans European Transport Network,[6] thus implementing it as a motorway rather than expressway.[7][8]

The feasibility studies for both the Sibiu – Făgăraş and the Făgăraş – Braşov sections are still incomplete, and according to the infrastructure authority of Romania they may not be entirely ready before August 2019 and the end of 2020 respectively, with tenders for construction works possibly taking until 2023 to complete.[9]
