The National Company for Road Infrastructure Administration (CNAIR) has announced the closure of a section of the A3 Motorway in Romania, between kilometre markers 68+000 and 43+300, for tonight, 3 December 2024. The closure affects traffic travelling from Ploiești to Bucharest and will be in effect from 22:00 tonight until 06:00 tomorrow morning, 4 December.
Drivers heading towards Bucharest are advised to follow the designated diversion route:
Ploiești Ring Road → DN1 (Ploiești – Bărcănești – Potigrafu) → Intersection of DN1 (km 41+500) with DJ100B (km 0+000) → DJ100B (Potigrafu – Gherghița) → Gherghița Interchange → A3 Motorway (km 43+300) → Bucharest.
The closure is necessary to facilitate the installation of Variable Message Sign (VMS) gantries and additional traffic signage portals. These works are part of the ongoing development at the Dumbrava Interchange, which connects to the A7 Motorway project (Ploiești – Buzău, Lot 1, Dumbrava – Mizil).
Last night’s closure
Last night, the same section of the A3 Motorway was closed for traffic travelling in the opposite direction, from Bucharest to Ploiești. The closure ran from 22:00 on 2 December until 06:00 this morning.
