Geographically, the Sebes-Turda motorway is located in the centre of Transylvania in the provinces of Alba and Cluj, and will result in a fast and safe connection between the Sibiu-Arad motorway (Pan-European Corridor IV) and the Bucharest-Brasov-Bors motorway (Transylvanian motorway).

Lot 1 of the contract  consists of 17 kilometres of motorway with two lanes in each direction with a hard shoulder and includes approximately 81,000 m² of bridges and viaducts, as well as three motorway intersections.

The Group’s longstanding presence in Romania dates back to 1993 and the  modernisation works of the DN7 National Road followed by the rehabilitation and redevelopment of the Bucharest-Pitesti motorway in 1997 and the completion and repair of the north and south breakwaters of the Port of Constanta in 2001. The Salini Impregilo Group is currently engaged in the completion of  the Orastie-Sibiu motorway Lot 3 (€137 million) as well as the design and construction of  the Lugoj-Deva motorway Lot 2 (€153 million).
