Basarab Overpass, Cable-stayed bridge in Bucharest, Romania
The Basarab Overpass spans 1920 meters across the Dambovita River and railway tracks, connecting Nicolae Titulescu Boulevard with Grozavesti Road in Bucharest.
Construction of this concrete structure began in November 2006 and reached completion in 2011, with an investment of 255 million euros.
The bridge functions as a modern transportation nexus in Bucharest, incorporating both vehicular traffic lanes and dedicated tram routes above the city landscape.
Approximately 50,000 vehicles cross this overpass daily, while integrated elevators and ramps provide access to tram stations at different levels.
Two concrete towers measuring 84 meters in height support sixty steel cables, making this structure the widest cable-stayed bridge in Europe.
