Romania's national motorway company, CNADNR, has awarded FCC's Austrian subsidiary ALPINE the contract to build a section of the new beltway around the city of Brasov, situated in the Transylvania region of Romania.

The contract signing was attended by Romanian Infrastructure Minister Alexandru Nazare, the director of CNADNR and ALPINE representative Ionel Giuglea. The job has a 30-million-euro budget and includes the construction of two traffic circles and five bridges, which will run for a length of 511 metres, above the Brasov marshalling yard. The project is scheduled to be completed in mid-2013.

A Steady Player in Romania

FCC and its subsidiary ALPINE are hard at work developing infrastructure in Romania. Some of their foremost jobs include the Basarab bridge in Bucharest (the biggest cable-stayed bridge ever built in the country) and the northern beltway and line V of the Metro system, also both in Bucharest.

A consortium partnering ALPINE and FCC recently took home the contract to build a section of the Simeria-Brasov railway line, worth 246 million euros.
