In the Ungheni Deal neighbourhood, installation of a new street-lighting cable and 200 lamps is starting after RED-Nord replaced the electricity poles, Ungheni City Hall says. The work, carried out by Servicii Comunale Ungheni, will take 3–4 weeks, and the lights will come back in stages, street by street.
The tender for the streets repaired with Ungheni’s municipal bonds is over: SRL Servicii Comunale Ungheni won all 4 lots, with bids of 8.44 million lei excluding VAT, 1.17 million below the 9.61 million estimate. Including VAT, the contracts total 10.12 million lei. Mayoral orders set the start of works on 8 October, on Stamati, Bălțeni, Națională and Solidarității streets and in the Palace of Culture area.
Ungheni City Hall is adding one more vehicle each to routes 1 and 3 during the morning peak, and links the decision to the two mornings when mayor Vitalie Vrabie inspected urban transport on those routes, on 1 and 2 September. The longest gap between two buses drops from 23 to 16 minutes on route 1 and from 16 to 14 minutes on route 3, according to calculations by Triunghi.md based on the announced times. Below the announcement, a passenger asks for a service when classes end as well.
On Ștefan cel Mare street in Ungheni, the busy stretch between the former biochemical plant and Podurilor street is getting a pavement — the first on this section, according to City Hall: about 800 metres long, 2 metres wide. The work, done by the municipal company «Servicii Comunale Ungheni», has reached its final stretch and should be ready for the city's festival at the end of August; the road markings and the shaping of the shoulder still remain. The pavement is one item on a list of roads the city is paying for in 2026 with money borrowed through municipal bonds.
Less than three months after Lake Delia overflowed and destroyed the footbridge to Ungheni's leisure island, the Municipality has announced a new cable-stayed suspension bridge with an ash-wood deck and a resurfaced access road. Mayor Vitalie Vrabie inspected the site on 13 August; the aim is for the island to be ready in September. The announcement comes with a safety warning for parents: the bridge "is not a swing." What was rebuilt, how the work fits into the larger waterfront project, and the state of the lake's water.
On Decebal Street, across from the former boarding school, a public parking lot is being built through a cofinancing arrangement: nearby merchants and entrepreneurs bought 175 square metres of paving, worth 46,000 lei, while Ungheni City Hall paid for the labour and the other materials. The work, carried out by Servicii Comunale even on a Saturday, addresses a real problem for the town — parking spaces.
On 23 July, Ungheni City Hall announced the repair of Mihai Viteazul street — 500 metres in the Berești-Vasilica neighbourhood — carried out “from the local budget” by the municipal company Servicii Comunale Ungheni. Public records show the street is one of 14 objects on a list the Municipal Council approved in May to be modernised with a 10-million-lei loan raised through municipal bonds; the decision publishes only the overall ceiling and how many metres are to be paved, not the cost of each street. The work is done in-house, without a separate works tender — a lawful model, but one in which the cost of the repair remains, so far, unpublished.
Three days after several passengers complained, in the comments under the notice about paying by card on the bus, about multiple charges, SRL «Servicii Comunale Ungheni» announces that it «checked every case reported» and that nothing was confirmed, putting some of the complaints down to «fake profiles». The statement does not say how many cases were checked or by what method, and the questions Triunghi.md sent on 14 July remain unanswered. Under the notice, a woman from Ungheni keeps asking where the journeys on the travel card have gone.
Under the official notice about paying by card on the bus, people in Ungheni say they were charged twice and three times over, and one passenger says he paid 28 lei for a 6-lei ride. The operator guarantees on Facebook that «it is impossible to be charged twice». On its own portal, the guarantee is far narrower. We read the regulation approved by the local council, the operator's contract and the payment services law: the procedure by which a wrongly charged passenger gets their money back is written nowhere — but the law gives them firm deadlines, both with the operator and with the bank.
