The Moldovan Government plans to allocate 100 million lei for the renewal of the fleet of snow-removal machinery, as well as machines for dispersing sandy-salty mixture, Minister of Transport and Roads Anatol Salaru told journalists.

He offered a plan on purchasing special equipment during three-four years, in order to solve this problem.

”Almost 90% of these machines are worn out and the situation in the south of the country in Gagauzia is particularly hard”, Salaru said.

In his words, all the rayons will be equipped with snow-removal machinery, the present winter taught a serious lesson to the entire country.

Deputy Director of the state administration of motor roads Vasile Filip remarked that the machinery and the equipment of the enterprise, which serves the main highways of the republic, are in a very poor state.

”The service life of these machines is 25-30 years, but they were acquired as far back as in the 1980s”, he said and expressed hope that at least during this year or next year the enterprises will receive at least one grader each and machines for dispersing sandy-salty mixture - one per each rayon”.

From administrative viewpoint, Moldova is divided in 32 rayons.
