Ungheni reinforces its Prut dike over 2.3 km and adds a riverfront promenade on top

Ungheni city hall has started work to reinforce the protective dike along the Prut and its tributary, the Delia, in the Ungheni-Vale neighbourhood — the area threatened by Prut floods in 2008, 2010 and 2020. The 2,341 metres of dike will carry a riverfront promenade with walkways, bike lanes and viewpoints over the river. The project is funded by the European Union with a €922,715 grant, through the cross-border Interreg programme, together with the twin city of Dorohoi in Romania.

Floods move the Sânziene Unghenene festival off Delia island into the city centre, on 5 July

“Sânziene Unghenene”, the flagship festival of the Ungheni summer, cannot return this year to the island on Lake Delia, where it was held in 2025. The Palace of Culture cites the aftermath of the May floods — and the footbridge to the island is still not ready. The 2026 edition comes down on 5 July into the heart of the city, to Scuarul Înfrățirii and Independence Square, with a procession, the Sânziene Hora, folk-costume workshops and the “Sânziana” contest.

Six European countries rehearsed flood rescue on the Prut, in Ungheni district

A major European civil-protection exercise hosted by Moldova, “MD–EU MODEX 2026”, ended on 18 June. More than 250 rescuers from six countries — Poland, Germany, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and the Netherlands — spent three days working through realistic flood scenarios, one of the sites being the Prut river, in Ungheni district. The drill comes just a month after the Prut and local streams really did flood Cornova, Pîrlița and Vulpești.
