The A7 motorway (Romanian: Autostrada A7),[1] also known as the Ploiești–Siret Motorway (Romanian: Autostrada Ploiești–Siret) or the Moldavia Motorway (Romanian: Autostrada Moldovei),[2] is a partially built motorway in Romania, that upon completion will link Ploiești to the north-eastern part of the country, partly along the Pan-European Corridor IX. It will run along the route: Buzău, Focșani, Bacău, Roman, Pașcani, and Suceava, connecting to Ukraine's M19 highway near Siret.[3]

As of December 2020, the only segment in service is a 16.2 km (10.1 mi) long section, built as part of the Bacău bypass (Romanian: Centura Bacău). All other sections of the motorway are in various stages of planning, tendering and construction, with the first segments expected to be finished by 2024 the earliest.[4]
The Pașcani – Siret section will be financed through EU funds, while the government wants the Ploiești – Pașcani section (excluding the Bacău bypass) to be financed through the Romanian PNRR (short for Planul Național de Redresare și Reziliență, part of the Next Generation EU package).[5][2]
