6.300.000.000 € miză. De ce costă autostrada A8, secţiunea montană, 40 de milioane de euro pe kilometru? • Newsweek România

The A8 mountain section costs €40 million per kilometer due to its suspended and underground design, requiring extensive viaducts and tunnels. The project involves complex geological challenges in the Eastern Carpathians, necessitating expensive TBM technology and significant safety infrastructure. Additionally, rising material costs and labor expenses, exacerbated by the Ukraine conflict, contribute to the high price. The project also faces issues with unstable terrain and water management, requiring deep foundations and drainage systems. Comparatively, other highway projects in Romania have lower costs due to less challenging conditions.
