Construction has started on the Balota tunnel on the Boița-Cornetu section of Romania’s A1 Sibiu-Pitești motorway, with crews now working on three tunnels simultaneously. Project director Cristian Pistol announced the 11.63% overall physical progress and warned that the next critical step is obtaining a revised environmental permit from the Ministry of Environment.
