Before the announcement regarding the status of the two lots, CNAIR communicated that works on the A7 Bacău–Pașcani Motorway had reached overall progress of more than 60% and that, if the pace remained in line with the schedule, at least 49 kilometers could be opened that year. At the same time, the company stated that opening the sections to traffic depended on completing and inspecting the safety and monitoring systems, not merely on the calendar deadline.
In parallel, CNAIR announced the extension of traffic to the Bacău Nord interchange through the completion of the remaining works, promising that drivers would be able to travel continuously from Bucharest to Bacău Nord after the opening. The measure had been prepared by the earlier opening of a 47-kilometer section between Adjud and Bacău, in stages: initially up to the VO Bacău interchange, followed by the extension to Bacău Nord, based on the inspection of “every kilometer” for safety.
