STRABAG Romania has completed the design and construction of the new bypass around the Municipality of Făgăraș in Brașov County, Romania, five and a half months ahead of schedule. Located on the northern side of the municipality and extending both inside and outside the city limits, the bypass is designed to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and enhance road safety in the area.
The project included both design and construction services. The design phase was completed in only three months, while the construction works began on 21 November 2023 and were finalized on 31 May 2025, well ahead of the initial 24‑month schedule.
“Făgăraș Bypass is a vital infrastructure investment for the region, reducing traffic pressure in the city centre and significantly improving road safety. Completing the project months ahead of schedule is a proof to the professionalism and commitment of our team and partners,” said Richard Steinacher, Technical Business Unit Manager, STRABAG Romania, Large Scale Projects team.
The bypass, which has a total length of 5.9 km and a carriageway width of 7 m plus additional widenings, includes three modern roundabouts and two new bridges crossing a tributary of the Olt River and the Berivoi stream. Both bridges were built using reinforced concrete frames with single spans of 21.5 m and 30 m respectively. To ensure the highest level of safety, 8‑metre‑high LED lighting poles were installed on the bridges and throughout the route.
