Ce oraș a avut prima stradă asfaltată din România? Drumurile din Capitală, pavate cu piatră de acum 200 de ani • Newsweek România

The first asphalted street in Romania was established in Timișoara in 1895, initiated by Ludwig von Ybl. This street, now known as Bulevardul Carol I, was part of a larger urban development plan. In contrast, Bucharest's streets were paved with stone starting in the 1830s, with significant improvements occurring later. The first major asphalt paving in Bucharest took place between 1910 and 1916, leading to widespread asphalt use post-1945. Despite modernization, some streets in the capital remain unpaved today.
