Government plans electrified standard gauge line to Romania

The Moldovan government is planning to build a 107 km electrified standard gauge railway line from Chișinău to the Romanian border in order to create a direct connection to the railway network of the European Union (EU). The aim is to speed up passenger transport, facilitate freight transport to the EU and integrate Moldova into the TEN-T core network. A preliminary study is currently underway with the support of the EU's EPIC initiative.
