The construction of the Pașcani–Suceava highway has not yet begun due to a lack of official funding. Although contracts were signed in April 2026, the financing through the SAFE program is not yet secured. The general director of CNAIR, Cristian Pistol, emphasized that without a budget title, work cannot commence. The project is under pressure to meet a 2029 completion deadline, as announced by former Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan. The total value of the contracts is approximately 5.93 billion lei, with a planned duration of 30 months for each contract. The new Minister of Transport, Ștefan-Ovidiu Popa, has prioritized the operationalization of SAFE for the highway's continuation, but no timeline for funding release has been provided.
