The competition to get the 1,2 billion euros Sibiu-Pitești highway construction is heating up.

15 Consortia and companies had bidden for the lot 3 of the Sibiu-Pitești highway, the one between Cornetu and Tigveni with an estimated cost of 1,1-1,2 billion euros. It is 37,4 kilometre and has a 3,4km (2 tubes x 1,7km) long tunnel as well. Project is overseen by The National Company for Road Infrastructure Management (CNAIR).

Digi24 writes that out of 15 bidding consortia and companies only 6 have been approved by the road companby (CNAIR). Very interesting that all bidders from China are dropped from the list.

The bidders still in the race are:

• Strabag - Acciona
• Aktor - Riccani de Eccher
• Astaldi - TANCRAD
• Impresa Pizzarotti & C SpA
• MAKYOL - Ozaltin - YAPI MERKEZI - GÜLERMAK
• Mapa - Cengiz

Very interesting that Greece's Aktor is still in the race, given the situation that they are struggling to finish lot 2 of the Sebeș-Turda highway...
