  Road traffic between Râmnicu Vâlcea and the work point at km 242 + 600, as well as between Sibiu/Boita and the work point at km. 250 + 000 will be on DN7.

For vehicles with a maximum authorized total weight < 7.5t, the national and county roads in the vicinity of the sector closed to traffic on DN7 can be used as detour routes. 

Actions were also initiated to allow access to DN10, Buzău – Brașov, for vehicles with a maximum authorized total weight of up to 30t.

In addition, measures were taken so that on the recommended and proposed options, during this entire period of driving restrictions, no other driving restrictions are in place that could affect the flow and safety of road traffic, and where they exist, they are lifted in the shortest possible time (as in the case of the driving restriction for the rehabilitation of the bridge located on DN1 km 194+400 in the area of Vlădeni, where road traffic is carried out with traffic lights and traffic signals on a single lane in both directions).

The works currently being carried out are to be completed in approximately 2 weeks, their continuation being resumed after the lifting of the restrictions on DN7.

Traffic users are asked to follow the road signs in this area, and also use the route options proposed on the following connections:

• Făgăraș →DN1 → Șercaia → DN73A → Brașov and return
• Făgăraș →DN1 → Șercaia → DN1S → Hoghiz → DN13 → Brașov and return
