Închiderea A1 Sibiu–Boița provoacă scandal. Secretar de stat: Autostrada putea rămâne deschisă. Acuzații la adresa șefului CNAIR

The closure of the A1 highway between Sibiu and Boița, starting October 5, 2026, has sparked controversy within the transport sector. State Secretary Horațiu Cosma claims the complete halt of traffic could have been avoided and accuses CNAIR's director Cristian Pistol of rejecting alternatives that would allow partial traffic flow. The closure is necessary for ongoing construction on the Sibiu-Pitești highway, specifically for a new overpass. Cosma argues that there were feasible options to maintain traffic, which were ignored. The situation has led to discussions about changing how major traffic restrictions are approved, with a new ordinance being prepared to ensure thorough justification and consideration of alternatives before such decisions are made.
