Moldova Highway: The Full Route, Opened Sections, and What's Inaugurating in 2026 on A7 Ploiești - Siret

Romania is steadily advancing its ambitious Moldova Highway (A7) project, with nearly half of the 453-kilometer Ploiești – Siret route already operational. By the close of 2026, an additional 125 kilometers are slated for completion, promising a significantly improved travel experience.

Once fully realized, the A7, in conjunction with the A3, will allow drivers to traverse nearly 400 kilometers between Bucharest and Pașcani. This infrastructure development is crucial for the Moldova region, enhancing its connectivity to the capital and the national highway network. It also serves the vital purpose of diverting heavy and transit traffic away from the notoriously dangerous DN2 national road, a move expected to bolster safety for local communities.

The highway's route connects major northeastern cities including Ploiești, Buzău, Focșani, Bacău, Roman, and Pașcani, extending towards Suceava and Siret at the Ukrainian border. A planned connection via the A8 Unirii Highway will link it directly to Iași, the region's capital. The project has been divided into six sections, with initial segments like the Bacău Bypass opening in 2020 and the Ploiești–Buzău and Buzău–Focșani sections progressing through 2024 and 2025. Future segments, Pașcani–Suceava and Suceava–Siret, are scheduled for completion between 2028 and 2029.
