The project covers 83.82 km of road, financed by the Bank European Investment Fund with a total cost of € 65.26 million. Companies will have to end the project by the end of 2019. 

According to State Secretary Anatol Usatîi, the R33-Chişinău-Lăpuşna road, executed by Euro-Asian Construction Corporation Evrascon JSC (Azerbaijan) and R16 Bălţi-Făleşti-Sculeni road signed with Impresa Pizzarotti & C.Sp.A. (Italy) is to be put into operation in November 2019.

Between 2017-2018, a total of 7 contracts were canceled, resulting from either corruption of defective selection of the contractor. The public roads network in the Republic of Moldova includes more than 9300 km, and the local roads of communal interest reach 30 thousand km.
