Road safety is a priority and investments dedicated to increasing road safety save lives.
The Cluj County Council signed, through the North-West Regional Program, a contract worth approximately 1 million euros for the purchase of modern machinery for the maintenance of county roads. The machines will be used for the maintenance of road markings, the cleaning of roadways, the removal of vegetation and all obstacles that reduce the visibility of drivers.
The North-West Regional Program attaches great importance to investments of this type, the call for projects to increase the safety of county roads has an allocation of 50 million euros.
The project "Equipment for increasing traffic safety in Cluj County - Code SMIS 303552" signed between ADR Northwest and Cluj County Council benefits from non-refundable funding from the European Regional Development Fund and corresponds to the investments related to the European Union's policy objective for "A more Europe accessible".
