Giurgeni – Vadu Oii Bridge, Road bridge linking Giurgeni and Hârșova, Romania.
The Giurgeni–Vadu Oii Bridge is a steel girder road bridge over the Danube on the DN2A (E60) national road, linking Giurgeni in Ialomița County with Vadu Oii in Constanța County. Its total length is 1,456 m, with three central spans of 160 m and two of 120 m, plus two access viaducts of 16 spans each at 46 m.
The bridge was completed in 1970 as a major infrastructure project that directly linked two regions on either side of the Danube for the first time. Its opening enabled constant and rapid movement of people and goods between the Muntenia and Dobruja areas.
The structure connects two communities that were once separated by the river, allowing people to move more easily between their daily destinations and visit family on the other side. It has become a landmark in the local landscape that residents and travelers recognize immediately.
You can cross the structure on foot or by car, as it is designed for both vehicles and pedestrians. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when visibility is good and you can see the river and surrounding landscape clearly.
The steel superstructure used OL52 steel rolled at Reșița and Galați, with subassemblies machined at the Bocșa machine works. The bridge crosses the Danube at kilometre 237.8, and its three central spans of 160 m each are flanked by two 120 m spans and two access viaducts of 16 spans of 46 m.
