Transit corridors in Romania for international freight transports – interactive map

The Romanian authorities have established five road corridors for all international freight transports passing through the country during the state of emergency declared due to the coronavirus pandemic, local Hotnews.ro reported.

The Ministry of Transport has thus made available to all road haulage operators in the EU or non-EU states an interactive map of transit routes in Romania.

The map, in addition to the transit corridors, also contains information on fuel stations and parking lots for those in transit. It can be accessed here.

The five transit corridors are:
