Danube Bridge, International road-rail bridge in Ruse, Bulgaria.
The Danube Bridge connects Bulgaria and Romania with a steel truss structure stretching 2223 meters across the Danube River between Ruse and Giurgiu.
The bridge opening in June 1954 established the first permanent crossing point between Bulgaria and Romania, replacing centuries of ferry-based transportation across the Danube.
This steel bridge represents the physical manifestation of Bulgarian-Romanian cooperation, connecting the distinct architectural styles and urban landscapes of Ruse and Giurgiu.
Travelers can cross the bridge by car, train, or on foot, with designated lanes ensuring smooth passage between the Bulgarian and Romanian border checkpoints.
The bridge structure incorporates specific decorative elements designed by Bulgarian architect Georgi Ovcharov, blending engineering requirements with regional architectural characteristics.
