The highway network remained relatively underdeveloped
in the
late 1980s. Of 72,799 kilometers of roads in 1985, only
11,000
could be classified modern by international standards. In
1985 the
system included 15,762 kilometers of concrete, 20,208
kilometers of
black-top, 27,729 kilometers of gravel, and 9,100
kilometers of
dirt roads. During the 1970s and 1980s, highways took on a
larger
share of freight and passenger transport, although the PCR
program
for the late 1980s attempted to reverse the trend. Among
major road
construction projects of the Ceausescu era, the
Trans-Fagarasan
Highway, the Sibiu-Bucharest-Constanta super-highway, and
the
Cernavoda Bridge (the longest on the Danube) were the most
noteworthy.
