A10 motorway (Romania)
The A10 motorway (Romanian: Autostrada A10), also known as the Sebeș–Turda Motorway (Romanian: Autostrada Sebeș–Turda), is a motorway in the central-western part of Romania, connecting the A1 and A3 motorways, between the cities of Sebeș and Turda, also providing access to Alba Iulia and Aiud. It is 70 km long, with a total cost of 420 million euro, which is financed in proportion of 85% from the European Union funds, the rest of 15% being insured from the state budget. The motorway's construction was divided into four lots:[1] works for lots 3 and 4 began on 20 May 2014, whereas for the other two lots began in 2015.[2]

Since 2021, it has been operational on its entire length. Near Oiejdea, however, it is only operational on two lanes, due to a landslide that occurred in the area that was still not resolved.[3] The motorway became fully operational on 19 November 2022.
