A10 motorway (Romania)

The A10 motorway (Romanian: Autostrada A10), also known as the Sebeș–Turda Motorway (Romanian: Autostrada Sebeș–Turda), is a partially built motorway in the central-western part of Romania, that when completed will connect the A1 and the A3 motorway, between the cities of Sebeș and Turda, also providing access to Alba Iulia and Aiud. It is planned to be 70 km long, with a total cost of 420 million euro, which is financed in proportion of 85% from the European Union funds, the rest of 15% being insured from the state budget. The motorway is divided into four lots:[1] works for lots 3 and 4 began on 20 May 2014, whereas for the other two lots began in 2015.[2] It is operational from Sebeș to Alba Iulia (17.0 km) and from Aiud to Turda (28.9 km).
