TheTimișoara–Moravița Motorway (Romanian:Autostrada Timișoara–Moravița) is a proposedmotorway in the southwestern part ofRomania, labelled asA9.[1] It will connect the city ofTimișoara to the border withSerbia. Feasibility studies for the whole motorway are currently ongoing.[2] It is planned to be 72.93 km long.[3]
The motorway begins east ofTimișoara at the junction with theA1 motorway nearRemetea Mare. It will bypass the largest city of the historical region ofBanat in east. South of Timișoara, nearGiroc, there will be a connecting road to the Timișoara ring bypass. From here, the motorway will head south towardsJebel,Opatiţa andStamora Germană, east of the DN59, before reaching the border withSerbia nearMoravița.[4]
In Serbia, the motorway is planned to head towards the capital ofBelgrade viaVršac, where it would connect to the rest of theSerbian motorway network, thus providing a high-speed connection from Romania toMontenegro and otherformer Yugoslav countries,[5] but could also work as an alternative route between Romania andWestern Europe via Serbia andCroatia, rather thanHungary.
The motorway will have a total length of 72.93 km and will be divided into three sections:[6]
