2012 – Moldowa, Road project, R33 Hincesti - Lapusna - M1

 

Road project – The R33 is located in Hîncesti District in the central west of Moldova. This route links Hîncesti town with the M1, which continues to the Romanian border at the crossing point Leuşeni. Leuşeni represents the most important border crossing in terms of goods and passenger traffic between Moldova and Romania. The road section starts in Hîncesti and travels westward through the Central Moldovan Hills (Uplands) (Codri), to the junction with M 1. The terrain is rolling to hilly with at times steep drops between the hill tops and valleys. Beginning at the intersection in Leova the road runs up the watershed, where several sharp turns and high hillocks limit visibility. At km 10 - a steep descent down the watershed in the direction of the valley serpentine) exists. Further the terrain is less rugged, in the area of km 25- there is a serpentine, and at km 26 - land sliding area, where sliding control measures have been performed.
