9.6 million lei for 5 streets: Ungheni sells out its municipal bonds, procurement is open

All 10,000 municipal bonds issued by Ungheni — at 1,000 lei each — were fully subscribed within days of the public offering opening on August 10. On August 26, a working group of municipal councilors from all factions selected 5 streets — 2.5 kilometers, 23,000 square meters — and launched the procurement: the 4 lots, worth a total of 9.61 million lei, are now listed on MTender. The city hall's announcement names the streets, and the procurement documents on MTender also show the estimated cost per lot.

800 metres of new pavement on Ștefan cel Mare, almost ready for Ungheni's City Days

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.

Burebista Street in Sculeni enters construction: how a half-billion state programme reaches the village

The Sculeni commune hall announced on 23 July the start of works to modernise Burebista Street, through a government programme for repairing local roads, “Europe is Near”. The project, approved by the council in May 2025 after consultations with residents, was put out to a tender worth over 4 million lei, to which five firms applied — but the winner is not yet public, and the procedure went through a challenge upheld in full by the disputes authority. This is a different Burebista Street from the one refurbished in Ungheni.

Cornești lays 960 metres of gravel streets in the „white variant”: what it means and why it isn't asphalt

The Cornești Town Hall announced on 23 July that it had finished „white-variant” repairs on three streets — 2 Decembrie, Stejarului lane and Stejarului street — some 960 metres in all. The „white variant” means compacted gravel, not asphalt: a cheaper, faster solution, but a temporary one — so temporary that, in its own procurement, the town hall cut the works' warranty from 36 to 12 months. The money comes from state transfers for local roads, and the tender, estimated at about 749,000 lei, does not yet have a winner recorded in the public data.

The new Government's programme names Ungheni five times, all of them on transport. The free zone never appears

Parliament voted on Tuesday the programme of the Cabinet led by Vasile Tofan, and on Wednesday the Government took the oath. In the document's 147 pages, Ungheni district appears five times — the motorway, the railway to Iași, the bridge over the Prut, the link to Chișinău and the Berești logistics hub — all of them on the transport axis — three of them with a 2029 horizon — and with a cautious verb: “first works advanced”, not completed. The free economic zone, which holds almost one in six salaried jobs in the district, is not mentioned even once.

Two more streets paved in Ungheni Vale, „from the local budget”. One is on the 10-million-lei road list, funded by debt

Ungheni City Hall announced on Friday that it had paved two more streets in the Ungheni Vale neighbourhood — Arcașii lui Ștefan and Suceava, 850 metres, „from the City Hall budget”. One of them, Arcașii lui Ștefan, appears however on the list of roads that the Municipal Council approved in May to be modernised from the 10-million-lei loan raised through municipal bonds — money that the people of Ungheni will repay, with interest. The decision publishes only the total ceiling, not how much each street costs.

How Cornești ran water and sewer pipes under the R1 highway: directional drilling, no trench

The Cornești town hall says it has completed the extension of the water and sewerage network on Ștefan cel Mare Street — work that included running the pipes under the R1 Chișinău–Ungheni national road, at kilometre 77+215, by drilling without opening a trench or closing the highway. The town's network was built through the “Satul European” programme, and centralised sewerage — which Cornești has — remains the rare part of Moldova's infrastructure.
