Corten bridge under major repairs; traffic rerouted to bypass
Drivers are advised to comply with the temporary road signs installed in the area of the bridge over the Lunguta River, located near the town of Corten in the Taraclia district, where major repair work commenced on March 10.
In this context, authorities are recommending increased attention and compliance with road signs to prevent traffic issues.
According to information from the National Road Administration, the first phase of the project involves constructing a temporary bypass road, approximately 204.5 meters long, to redirect traffic during the work. The bridge is situated on the national public road Ceadir-Lunga - Taraclia - Vulcanesti - Cahul, at kilometer 6.750.
The existing structure, built in the 1970s from reinforced concrete and measuring 10.5 meters wide, will be completely demolished and rebuilt.
The new bridge will feature three spans, two lanes, and will be equipped with modern road and pedestrian barriers, ensuring safer conditions for both vehicles and pedestrians.
The total value of the works amounts to 15.7 million lei, funded from the Road Fund.
The project is planned for completion in February 2027.
The modernisation of the bridge will significantly improve safety and traffic conditions for the over 3,000 traffic participants who cross this road section daily.
