No kilometer of new highway had been added in the past year to the Sun's Highway, linking capital Bucharest with the Black Sea port of Constanta.
However, the National Company for Highways and National Roads, or CNADNR, made public Wednesday the names of the companies which qualified for the next step of the bidding to build the last section of the highway, totaling 52 kilometers, and linking Cernavoda to Constanta.
The construction work is estimated to take two years but the estimated costs were not released.
So far, it is known that the section under bidding will be partitioned in two: a 19-kilometer section, from Cernavoda to Medgidia, and a 31.8-kilometer section, from Medgidia to Constanta.
In all, there will be six motorways, 14 viaducts, two bridges and a road knot crossing on top of the highway.
The highway itself, which is part of the 4th European Corridor, will have side-fences, communication and lighting system, etc, and will significantly reduce the time spent on the road when traveling to the sea-side.

Most companies making the cut for the first section of the highway, also made it for the second one, said Stefan Szoborka, communication director with CNADNR.
They come from Italy, Germany, Israel, Turkey, Portugal and Spain.
The companies are: JV Condotte/CMC di Ravenna; Aktor, JV Impregilo Spa/Itinera; JV Ashtrom Int/Shapir Structures 1991; JV Cengiz/Mapa; JV Astaldi Spa/Max Bogl; JV Mochlos SA/Danya; JV FCC Construccion/Alpine Bau Gmbh; Strabag; J&P Avax; JV Mota Engil/Monte Adriano/Soares Da Costa and Colas SA.
The CNADNR will finance the construction with money borowed from the European Bank for Investments.
“We do not want to make public the money we want to borrow, since we do not want to tip off the companies for the size of the pay they would request in their final biddings, as the cheapest offer will be the winner” said Szobotka.
