The opening of the Tigveni – Curtea de Argeș section of the A1 Sibiu – Pitești highway is delayed due to the non-operational status of the Momaia tunnel. Minister of Transport, Ștefan-Ovidiu Popa, stated that the lack of specialized personnel for monitoring and maintenance is the main issue. Previous management allegedly hindered hiring necessary staff, preventing the safe operation of the tunnel. Although construction is nearly complete, with 99% physical progress, the opening depends on safety tests for the tunnel, which is equipped with advanced monitoring systems. The expected opening was set for this year, ahead of the contractual deadline in February 2027, allowing drivers to use a significant portion of the highway.
