BRIDGE Romanian president Klaus
\nIohannis has today said that the suspended bridge over the Danube at Braila in
\nsouth-eastern Romania, is the biggest construction Romania has seen in the past
\ntree decades, which proves that major infrastructure projects can be finalised.
\nIohannis added that Romania has access to a significant volume of European
\nfunds and a good part of it has been devoted to the development of the
\ncountry’s infrastructure. The inauguration ceremony of this bridge, the biggest
\never built in Romania and the third in Europe, has been attended by the
\ncountry’s president and by its Prime Minister, Marcel Ciolacu. This is the last
\nbridge over the Danube before its flowing into the Black Sea and has been
\ndesigned to last 120 years. The almost 2 kilometer bridge will link the
\nsouth-eastern counties of Braila and Tulcea and raise the area’s economic
\npotential. The project’s total value has exceeded 400 million euros, 85% coming
\nfrom European funds. <\/p>\n
