Construction Works at the New Bridge Over the Danube Will Begin in July

Romanian and Bulgarian premiers, Adrian Nastase and Simeon Saxa-Coburg Gotha, have attended on Sunday a ceremony marking 50 years since the opening the existing bridge linking Giurgiu and Ruse.

The bridge was inaugurated on June 20 1954, after two years and three months of works and at that time it was one of the longest bridges in Europe, with a total length of 2.2 kilometers.

Adrian Nastase and Simeon Saxa-Coburg Gotha have symbolically met in the middle of the bridge and have attended ceremonies organized on both banks of the river.
