New Bulgaria-Romania bridge to open in spring 2013

The bridge connecting Romania and Bulgaria via Calafat-Vidin will be opened next spring, after some details about the company managing the bridge are settled, according to Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borisov.

Borisov and his Romanian counterpart Victor Ponta, together with Johannes Hahn, the European Commissioner for Regional Policy crossed the bridge on October 24.

The Romanian PM said that Romania did its part of the job for the project, even though Bulgarian representative said something else. Romania's side of the project is 95 % finished from September 2011.
