Three companies teamed up and won a contract to modernize several streets in the Romanian city of Sibiu. Geiger Transilvania, Construcţii SA and Universal Business teamed up for the EUR 3.2 million contract to revamp the streets Calea Guşteriţei, Macaralei, Oţelarilor and Măgheranului, according to the Sibiu City Hall.  The contract was signed by Sibiu mayor Klaus Johannis (in picture) - also a presidential candidate -  on Monday, August 4.
