New Europe Bridge

The New Europe Bridge spans 1971 meters across the Danube River with a central span of 180 meters and a width of 32 meters.

Construction of the bridge started after Romania and Bulgaria signed an agreement in March 2000, but financial constraints delayed the project until June 2013.

The bridge strengthens transportation connections between Romania and Bulgaria, forming part of the Pan-European transport corridor linking Dresden to Istanbul and Thessaloniki.

The crossing fee for passenger vehicles with up to eight seats and cargo vehicles under 3.5 tons amounts to 6 euros per transit.

The structure incorporates both railway and road traffic capabilities, featuring 27 openings designed to accommodate large river vessels passing underneath.
