Romanian transport minister
Razvan Cuc said during a working visit on the Lugoj-Deva highway site that he
requested the video monitoring of "all road construction sites in the country,”
so that he canwatch the progress of the works, reports local
News.ro
.
He decided to make this
request because he was "a little dissatisfied” with the progress of some works.
"I visited the lots II, III
and IV. I had talks with all entrepreneurs. I was a little dissatisfied with
the progress of the works on a particular section, meaning that I would have
liked a much better mobilization, and that’s what I requested fromthe
constructor,” the minister said.
"I will do the monitoring
myself, but it will also be done by Timisoara Regional Directorate of Roads and
Bridges. I also requested a video monitoring made by CNAIR (e.n. Romania’s
National Roads Company), which would target all road construction sites in the
country. I told the builders that I would not tolerate delays.”
Razvan Cuc added that his
complaints are related to the work carried out on the third section of the
highway linking Deva to Lugoj. He also said that he plans to make public a
ranking of companies working on the roads in Romania.
According to Cuc, CNAIR teams
will make unannounced visits on the sites, to check both the deadlines and the
quality of work.
