Italian company Impresa Construzioni Giuseppe Maltauro has won the contract to build the 17-km segment Nadaselu-Mihaiesti of the Transylvania Highway, offering a price of EUR 99 million, almost twice lower than the one estimated by the National Highways Company.

The authorities estimated a price of EUR 183 million for the project, reports local Economica.net. The contract was awarded via a public tender, and the project will be financed with money from the state budget.

The highway segment is located in the Cluj county. The contract has an 18-month duration, with six months due for design and 12 months for the construction work.
