The 650-metre-long access road to Beleu Lake has been inaugurated in Slobozia Mare village, Cahul district. The event took place during the Beleu Bio Fest festival on August 13.
The rehabilitation of the road was made possible thanks to the financial support of the European Union, provided through the “EU4Moldova: Focal Regions” programme, implemented by UNDP and UNICEF. The EUR 283,000-infrastructure project involved the rehabilitation of the access road, including asphalt surfacing and the construction of 487 square metres of pavement for pedestrians. In addition, the Slobozia Mare town hall has covered, from the public budget, the installation of a car park of 1300 square metres, a public toilet, four streetlamp poles and the installation of guide signs.
The renovated portion of the road contributes to boosting the economic development and tourist appeal of the region, as Beleu Lake is part of the Prutul de Jos Biosphere Reserve, included in the UNESCO World Network in 2018.
Once the project’s implementation, the area of Lunca Prutului de Jos gained added value, becoming a tourist attraction, said Valentina Carastan, Mayor of Slobozia Mare village, Cahul district.
The construction works took place in June 2022 – August 2023. (Moldpres/Business World Magazine)
