PP-DB: The construction of the Byala-Veliko Tarnovo section is being prepared for 50 million leva per km  - 1

The construction of a 60 km section between the city of Byala and Veliko Tarnovo is being prepared with an estimated value of the order of nearly 3 billion leva. This is 50 million leva per kilometer. We believe that this is a scandalous order. Even if we assume that there is inflation. 1.5 billion leva have been invested in a corrupt way for the construction of the road section or 2.5 million in a corruption allowance per km. This was stated on the sidelines of the National Assembly by Andrey Tsekov from PP-DB, reported NOVINI.BG.

A reasonable approach for the government is to prepare only the design and then, based on the quantitative calculations, to commission its construction. This resembles the corruption schemes of Borisov-Peevski from their previous three cabinets, Tsekov is categorical.

Kiril Petkov stated that for less than a kilometer of this allowance, the Shipka monument could have been reconstructed, we could have 25 new gardens in Sofia for less than 8 km of this allowance. For less than 300 m. of this allowance - we could have new sensors for children with diabetes. I call on Minister Ivan Ivanov and Prime Minister Zhelyazkov to enter the RIA and say what is happening and why we have a highway that doubles in price in 2 years, said Petkov.

Asked how stable the cabinet is, he said that it depends on what they do with Peevski, if they rely on him - they will fall soon.

As for the entry of "Velicie" into the National Assembly, Petkov said that he expects to hear their priorities.

We recall that yesterday the "Road Infrastructure" Agency announced a public tender for the selection of a contractor for the preparation of a technical design and construction of the third section of the "Ruse - Veliko Tarnovo" motorway between Byala and Veliko Tarnovo. The total length of the section is nearly 60 km. And the estimated value of the tender was announced - 2.967 billion leva. excluding VAT, and the expected completion time is 1770 calendar days.
