Turda begins Petru Maior Street overhaul with new bridge and parking

Turda is set to begin the long-awaited modernization of Petru Maior Street on September 15, Mayor Cristian Matei announced. Funded initially from the local budget, the project aims to transform the street into a important part of an urban mobility corridor. Plans include asphalting, a new bridge, and multi-level parking facilities.

The upgrade has been a pressing demand from local residents for years. The administration is actively pursuing European Union funds to support two critical aspects of the project. One involves building a new bridge near the intersection of Constructorilor and Plopilor. The other focuses on developing a multi-level parking structure near Turda City Hall.

To improving local infrastructure, the new corridor will integrate public bus routes, improving public transport access. Mayor Matei confirmed that the work order for this initiative has been signed, marking a significant step forward in the city's development plans.

Turda also plans a second, larger mobility corridor designed to function as a city bypass. This bypass will start at Turda's entrance from Cluj, pass landmarks like Salina Turda and the Issa Resort, and include a bridge near the Arieș area by the MMM building. The goal is to connect Turda directly to the A3 highway, significantly boosting regional connectivity. Currently, this second corridor is in the early planning stages, indicating a proactive approach to urban development in Turda.
