The US Department of Defense plans to modernize two air bases in Romania, APA reports citing Weekly Blitz.

“This tender provides for the design and construction of an apron for loading (unloading) explosives and ammunition,” says the US Department of Defense.

According to the information provided by the Ministry of Defense, repair work will be carried out on the territory of the main camp at the airport named after Mihail Kogalniceanu. The event was hosted by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The contractors are also required to construct the aircraft loading apron and taxiways, equip the area, as well as install utilities and lighting.

In total, Washington is ready to allocate from $25 million to $55 million for construction work.
