The A1 motorway (Romanian: Autostrada A1) is a partially built motorway in Romania, planned to connect Bucharest with the Banat and Crișana regions in the western part of the country. When completed it will be 580 kilometers long and it will span the country on the approximative south-east to north west direction. The motorway starts in the western part of Bucharest and connects the following major cities: Pitești, Sibiu, Deva, Timișoara, Arad, reaching the Hungarian M43 motorway near Nădlac. As the motorway is built along the Trans-European Transport Networks Rhine-Danube Corridor the construction receives 85% funding from the European Union.
As of March 2017, the combined length of the opened sections totals 400.4 kilometers. Other 56.7 kilometers are under construction. The parts of the motorway currently in service include the Bucharest – Pitești section (109.5 km), the Sibiu – Deva section (132.0 km) , and the Margina – Nădlac section (158.8 km). Construction works are carried out between Deva and Margina, specifically on three segments (dubbed Lugoj - Deva lots 2, 3 and 4) having a total length of 56.7 kilometers.
