It will run along the route: Buzeu, Focşani, Bacău, Roman, Pasşcani and Suceava, connecting with the Ukrainian road M 19 near Seret. According to media reports, the project currently involves thousands of workers and hundreds of pieces of equipment. This road is important for Ukraine, it will create an opportunity to get a new European transportation corridor.
