Doubling section II which connects DN 11, the exit from
Braşov to Hărman, to DN 13, the exit from Braşov to Târgu-Mureş is absolutely
necessary in order to allow highway regime traffic. At the same time, an
important issue faced by drivers crossing the city belt will be solved, the
construction of a road passage over the city belt, at the intersection with the
county road to, where many accidents have occurred.
