Moldova's first electrified railway will pass through Ungheni: Bucharest has approved electrifying the line to Iași, with works to 2028

The government in Bucharest has approved the technical-economic indicators for electrifying the railway line between Iași and the border with the Republic of Moldova — the administrative step that opens the way to the design-and-build tender. It is the Romanian half of a cross-border project that will give the Republic of Moldova its first kilometre of electrified railway, right through Ungheni and over the 'Eiffel' bridge across the Prut. For a border-gateway district, it is the most concrete railway promise yet.

Apă-Canal Ungheni replaces pumps and 350 metres of pipe at the station that treats water from the Prut

At the station that cleans Prut water before it reaches the taps of Ungheni, the local utility Apă-Canal Ungheni has already replaced more than 350 metres of pipe and 25 valves and installed the first of four new high-capacity pumps. The works are the station component of a regional project worth around 32 million lei, financed from the National Fund for Regional and Local Development through ADR Centru, with a contribution from the Ungheni District Council. The operator warns there will be further temporary water shut-offs before completion.

ADR Centru checked three sites in Ungheni: the market, the French Park and a 35-million-lei road to Plaiul Fagului

The Centru Regional Development Agency — the body through which the state spends money from the National Fund for Regional and Local Development — inspected three building sites in Ungheni district on 18 June. Alongside the already-known agri-food market and French Park, a third project surfaced: rebuilding the access road to the “Plaiul Fagului” reserve, worth about 35 million lei. Together it is tens of millions in public money — which the official statement no longer puts into figures.

The Prut bridge at Ungheni is almost ready. But you won't be able to cross it until 2028

The pair of bridges over the Prut, from Ungheni to Zagarancea, will be ready around autumn 2026. Crossing the Prut on them, though, won't open together with the bridge: the customs complex, the border control point and the access roads still have to be built — a second phase with a 2028 horizon. On the Romanian bank the work is contracted and awaiting its permit; on the Moldovan bank, beyond European money promised since 2023 and two land transfers in 2026, there is still no contractor, no contract and no deadline.

First road bridge over the Prut in 60 years, ready in July at Ungheni. The A8 motorway, still out to tender

Moldova and Romania have opened negotiations on a new agreement on strategic transport infrastructure, whose flagship project is the road bridge between Ungheni and Zagarancea, over the Prut. It will be the first road crossing at Ungheni and the first motorway-grade bridge over the river in six decades, funded with European money. But the bridge will be ready before the roads that are supposed to feed it — a gap that shows both the ambition and the limits of integration.
