A1 București-Pitești ar putea fi extinsă la trei benzi pe sens, iar Autostrada Sibiu-Pitești ar putea fi finalizată în 2030

The A1 Bucharest-Pitești highway may be expanded to three lanes in each direction to alleviate traffic congestion, especially with the upcoming Sibiu-Pitești highway completion expected around 2030. Secretary of State Horațiu Cosma highlighted the need for this expansion due to increased traffic from the new Craiova-Pitești expressway. Feasibility studies for the expansion are ongoing, with potential use of emergency lanes as additional traffic lanes in certain areas. The completion of the Sibiu-Pitești highway faces challenges due to complex terrain and construction requirements, with a more realistic completion date projected for 2030. Authorities are also working on an updated environmental agreement for the project.
