History and status

Initially planned as an expressway as an alternative to the National Road 1 (DN1) between Făgăraș and Sibiu at 72.57 kilometres (45.09 mi) long and with an estimated cost of 614 mill. €.[2] In 2013, the Romanian government has reportedly changed the plans in order to provide the connection from Sibiu to Bucharest alternative to A1 via Pitești as part of the Trans European Transport Network,[3] thus implementing it as a motorway rather than expressway.[4][5]

The feasibility studies for both the Sibiu – Făgăraş and the Făgăraş – Braşov sections are still incomplete, and according to the infrastructure authority of Romania they may not be entirely ready before August 2019 and the end of 2020 respectively, with tenders for construction works possibly taking until 2023 to complete.[6]
