A new ferry line will link Romania's Turnu Magurele and Bulgaria's Nikopol starting in October, it was revealed Monday.
The ferry line will begin to operate after the completion of a 10 km section of road, Nikopol Mayor Valery Zhelazkov was quoted as saying by Bulgaria's BTA news agency.
"We are ready to launch the ferry once the Nikopol-Pleven road has been completed," he said.
Two ferryboats will make 12 round-trips daily, carrying up to six heavy and 30 light vehicles, with each crossing lasting up to ten minutes.
The project will have cost EUR 5 M upon its completion, romaniantimes.at reported.
Contracts for construction of the new ferry complex were signed by Bulgaria and Romania in 2004, and work began a year later but encountered several delays.
There are three ferry lines between the two countries: Vidin-Calafat, Silistra-Calarasi and Oriahovo-Bechet. Another line may eventually provide a service between Lom and Rastu.
The two countries are connected by the Ruse-Giurgiu bridge, and a second bridge, Vidin-Calafat, should be completed in 2010.
