Brussels, 06/07/2023 (Agence Europe) – In Romania, one of the largest projects financed by the cohesion policy, the Brăila bridge, was inaugurated on Thursday 6 July, announced the European Commission. It will link the Black Sea ports and the Danube delta to the rest of the country and, more widely, to the Trans-European Transport Network. The EU’s contribution to this project amounts to €363 million from Cohesion Policy funds. With four lanes, a length of 2 km and a height of 38 metres above the water level, this suspension bridge is the largest in Romania, the largest on the Danube and the third longest suspension bridge in the EU. It will allow the free movement of ships and should reduce journey times by around 50 minutes, with 11,400 vehicles using it every day. (LC)
