The bridge’s construction is being undertaken to better link the north and the south of the city and relieve the volume of traffic on the existing Decebal Bridge. The contract also includes two viaducts and the two adjacent roundabouts.

Thomas Birtel said: “Despite the restrictions on public life currently in place in many of our European countries of operation, it is important not to lose sight of the long-term perspective and to continue to pursue important infrastructure projects such as this in Romania.”
