The value of the contract (design and execution) is 2.11
billion lei, with financing from PNRR non-refundable funds and is part of the
Investment Plan for the development of the railway infrastructure for the
period 2020 – 2030. The entry into execution of the contract for the
electrification and modernization of the section of the railway line Cluj
Napoca – Oradea – Episcopia Bihor – Frontiera, represents the start of the
implementation of major railway infrastructure projects in the North-West
Region. By electrifying and modernizing the railway between Cluj Napoca and
Episcopia Bihor, passengers will be provided with transport conditions at
European standards, contributing significantly to the decongestion of railway
traffic, especially freight, in the Curtici border area and all railway
transport operators will benefit by the second modern railway gate to and from
the west.
