Highways in Romania
This list of motorways in Romania provides an overview of the motorway network in Romania. It is still under construction. The current total length of highways (Romanian: Autostrăzi; singular Autostradă ) is 561 km. In addition, there are 290 kilometers of motorway under construction. The total length of the planned motorway network is still uncertain, as many routes are still in planning and the path length is therefore not unique.
For the use of all motorways and national roads must a vignette (Romanian: Rovinieta ) are acquired.
