Modernisation of regional transport infrastructure on the Trajan – Peceneaga – Ostrov – Daieni – Fagarasu New route

General objective: Increasing the accessibility of rural areas located close to the TEN-T corridor (Constanţa – Tulcea – Braila – Galati) by upgrading the Traian – Peceneaga – Ostrov – Daeni – Fagarasu Nou route. By its geographical location, Tulcea County, the largest county of the country is located in the south-eastern part of Romania, bordered to the west and north by the Danube, and to the east by the Black Sea, it is a peripheral area with a high degree of isolation. The project proposed for funding is a priority for achieving the objectives envisaged in the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region, the Integrated Sustainable Development Strategy of Tulcea County for 2014-2020, the Regional Development Plan 2014-2020 (list of priority projects linked to the General Master Plan for Transport) and in line with the National Regional Development Strategy. The South East region at the confluence of ancient historical regions is an ancient hearth of history and civilisation. Testimony are the Getic, Roman, Greek and Byzantine fortresses, monuments and archaeological sites, as well as the monasteries and buildings with special ethnographic value, spread throughout the region. Due to the environmental conditions and the physico-geographical position, the South-East Region has a very diverse natural capital, which includes the Black Sea, mountains, plains, major hydrographic networks, wetlands and one of Europe’s largest delta systems (Danube Delta). In the South-East Region there are 134 protected natural areas, of which the most important: Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve and Macin Mountains National Park for the conservation of rare fauna and flora species specific to the intersection of Mediterranean, Balkan and Caucasian areas. The natural resources of the county are arable land, vineyards, pastures that allow various crop crops, livestock farming, waters and ponds for fishing and hunting, forests for hunting, leisure, environmental protection, mineral resources for building stone such as granite, then quartzite and limestone, and last but not least the stretches of the Danube Delta for tourism potential. From the perspective of the riches of the basement, Tulcea county stands out for the granite in Măcinului Mountains, limestone in Dobrogei Podis, iron ore, copper pyrites, complex lead and zinc sulfides, quartz, granite, marble and limestone varieties, kaolin, baritine from Tulcea hills. In addition, Dobrogea has been identified as an area with a high wind energy potential, which contributes significantly to Romania’s obligations in the field of renewable energies and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. With 8430 km² Tulcea county is part of the large area category, being the fourth (after Timiș, Suceava and Caras-Severin) in the country, its area representing 3.5 % of the country’s surface.
