Romania’s Government is evaluating plans for a new bridge project, which would span the River Danube. The project has an estimated cost of nearly €440 million. The tender process is being opened by the Romanian National Agency for the Administration of Road Infrastructure (CNAIR). The bridge would be constructed in Romania’s Dobrogea Region. Funding looks likely to be provided, in part at least, by EU grants. As the Dobrogea Region is the location for the Danube Delta area where the river finally meets the Black Sea after its long and winding path overland, the area is marshy (where it is not hilly). Because of the difficult conditions in the area, the bridge could be as long as 23.4km in all. Its construction is required as transport links in this area are poor at present and the project would improve connections between Bulgaria and Romania, helping to boost the local economies of both nations.
