Ostrovul Mare Bridge, Suspension bridge in Mehedinți County, Romania.
The Ostrovul Mare Bridge is a suspension bridge crossing an arm of the Danube River that links two riverbanks. The structure uses steel cables and towers to support the road deck, which carries regional traffic across the water.
The bridge was planned in the 1980s and built to create a better crossing over the river. It was part of a broader effort to improve regional infrastructure during that era.
The bridge forms part of the Romanian transportation network, connecting rural communities along the Danube River to modern urban developments.
The crossing is accessible to vehicles and provides a direct route over the river for local road traffic. Visitors should note this is a functional road bridge and was not designed as a tourist attraction.
The bridge connects two countries and serves as a border crossing between Romania and a neighboring nation across the Danube. This makes it a remarkable point where two nations meet over the river.
