Romania has taken another step toward building a second bridge over the Danube between Giurgiu and Ruse, one of the country’s key cross-border infrastructure projects. The future bridge is planned as a dual-use road and rail connection linking Romania and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n
The National Road Infrastructure Administration Company (CNAIR) announced that EGIS Romania won the tender for the feasibility study contract with a bid of RON 50.04 million (excluding VAT).\u00a0<\/p>\n
The company will have 23 months from the signing of the contract to prepare the feasibility study for the new bridge, according to CNAIR director general Cristian Pistol.<\/p>\n
The contract is financed through non-reimbursable European funds under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF2) Military Mobility program. It can be signed after a 10-day waiting period, provided no appeals are filed.<\/p>\n
The planned Giurgiu-Ruse 2 bridge will serve both civilian and military purposes and will provide road and rail connections between Romania and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n
