Work is progressing on track with the new Danube Bridge 2, which will connect Bulgaria and Romania. Around 60% of the work has now been completed, along with some 50% of the connecting roads and other necessary infrastructure improvements. The new bridge will run from Vidin in Bulgaria to Calafat in Romania and it is due for completion by the end of 2011. The bridge will provide a combined road and rail link and the connections to the Romanian and Bulgarian networks will be finished after the bridge itself has been completed.
