A fabulous road in the Torockó Mountains gets a major renovation in Transylvania

The DJ 750C road, known as the Road of Monasteries and Hermits, is being renovated in the Transylvanian Central Mountains, according to profit.ro news. The contract for the works was signed on Friday, 25 July, according to Ion Dumitrel, president of the Fehér County Council.

According to earlier press reports, the overall development will span the snow-covered mountains between Salciua de Sus in the Aranyos valley and Tövis (DN1, Teius) along the Mures. The name of the road is not exaggerated, as it provides access to a number of spectacular natural formations and landmarks, such as the Remetei rock gorge, the most wildly beautiful landscape in the Torocko Mountains.

The investment, worth 72 million lei (approximately 6.1 billion Hungarian forints), is financed by European Union funds. The works, planned to last 24 months, will involve the development of a total of nearly 40 kilometres of road: new road sections will be built and existing roads will be repaired – writes alba24.ro. The contractor will be a company based in Fejér County called Elis Pavaje.

According to one of the news items on Proalba.ro one of its news items, the 750C road in question will be widened and bus stops and cycle paths will also be built as part of a large-scale project.
