During the last 12 years, heavy traffic has severely<br />

damaged the infrastructure and the environmental<br />

aspect <strong>of</strong> the city. It is imperative to start working at<br />

the belt highway, which would reduce the heavy traffic<br />

throughout the city. Thus, in 2003, works began at the<br />

belt highway. This will be a part <strong>of</strong> the Highway<br />

Nădlac-Arad-Deva-<strong>Sibiu</strong>-Bucureşti, as well as a part <strong>of</strong><br />

the European Passage IV. The highway is a priority<br />

project and it will be finished be<strong>for</strong>e 2015.<br />

Air transportation<br />

The air connection <strong>of</strong> the municipality is ensured by<br />

<strong>Sibiu</strong> International Airport, located on the national<br />

highway DN1, 3 km from the city. Through <strong>Sibiu</strong><br />

airport, regular connections are provided to national<br />

airports in Bucureşti, Tg. Mureş and Timişoara, and<br />

also to international airports in Germany (daily<br />

connection to Munich and three times a week to<br />

Stuttgart), and Italy. In 2004, the construction <strong>of</strong> the<br />

cargo terminal will begin. The increased passenger<br />

traffic triggered a project <strong>for</strong> the upgrading <strong>of</strong> the<br />

airport.
