The Ploiești–Bacău Motorway is a planned motorway in Romania, designed to link Ploiești with the north-eastern part of the country, partly along the Pan-European Corridor IX. Initially it was designed as a 314 km long motorway branching off the A3 motorway and passing through Buzău, Focșani, and Albița, on the border with Republic of Moldova. However, since 2014 plans in favor of a motorway past Focșani were scrapped in favor of a motorway towards Bacău and Suceava termed A7.[1]

The first section, from Ploiești to Focșani (133 km),[2] was proposed for a concession contract for tendering first half of 2013.[3] No contract was signed, and the only section that has been tendered was the Bacău bypass (30.6 km, of which 19.7 km of motorway) in August 2013,[4] but built at only half profile.[4] It was awarded for construction in November 2013,[5] but the results of the tender were contested by some of the participants.[6] Later in 2014, the whole motorway was redesigned as an expressway that would later be expanded to full motorway specifications.

The motorway from Focșani to Albița (155 km)[7] will have a different route number assigned, and April 2014, the section between Focșani and Albița is no longer a priority in the current master plan for the national motorway network.[8]
