The A10 motorway, also known as the Szászsebes–Torda motorway, is a 70-kilometer-long, partially built motorway in the central-western part of Romania. Once completed, it will connect the A1 (South Transylvania Motorway) with the A3 (North Transylvania Motorway), providing access to Gyulafehérvár (Alba Iulia) and Nagyenyed (Aiud).
