36.7 million lei for 2.14 km: Ungheni's Alexandru cel Bun street goes into reconstruction
On 20 July the Consiliul raional Ungheni (the Ungheni District Council) awarded the contract for rebuilding the stretch between Romană street and the Oleg Ungureanu — Decebal junction, part of district road L389. The works cost 36 677 184 lei including VAT — 17 139 lei for every metre of street — and went to SA „Drumuri Bălți”, the only company that submitted a bid. The bill is not the district's alone, however: an agreement approved by the two councils splits the cost 75% district and 25% town hall, and the streets in question passed into district ownership only in 2023, handed over free of charge by the town.
