The construction of a new bridge over the Olt River in Podu Olt is delayed due to administrative issues. The project, initiated by Brașov County Council, faced a contestation that halted the contract signing. The National Council for Contestation Resolution has ordered a reevaluation of the winning bid. Consequently, the project timeline has been affected, with actual construction unlikely to start this year. A budget revision proposes a reduction of 3.1 million lei from the allocated funds. The new bridge will replace the old one from 1910, featuring modern specifications and a temporary bridge during construction. Local opposition has influenced project decisions, including the demolition of the old bridge.
