A7 motorway (Romania)

The A7 motorway, also known as the Autostrada A7 or the Ploiești-Siret Motorway, is a planned motorway in Romania that will run from Ploiești, north of Bucharest, to Siret, on the border with Ukraine. It is a major infrastructure project designed to improve transport connections between the southern and northern regions of Romania, as well as facilitate international trade routes.

The A7 is a key component of Romania's overall motorway network development. It is expected to significantly reduce travel times along the route, alleviate congestion on existing national roads, and stimulate economic growth in the areas it serves. The motorway is planned to connect several major cities and towns, including Buzău, Focșani, and Bacău.

Construction of the A7 has been phased, with different sections being built and opened at different times. Funding for the project comes from various sources, including the Romanian government and European Union structural funds. The completion date for the entire motorway is projected for sometime in the late 2020s, but is subject to change based on funding and construction progress.

The A7 is intended to be a modern, high-capacity road, designed to meet European motorway standards. It will feature multiple lanes in each direction, emergency lanes, service areas, and other facilities to ensure safe and efficient travel. The motorway is expected to play a crucial role in Romania's transport infrastructure for decades to come.
