The construction of the foundations of Danube Bridge 2 set to connect Bulgaria and Romania have been completed on the Bulgarian site.
This has been announced after a meeting between Ricardo Bueno from the Spanish executer of the project, FCC, and the new Vidin District Governor, Plamen Stefanov, BTA reported.
At the end of July 2009, Bulgaria's cabinet approved a change of the financial contract for the construction of the second Bulgaria-Romania Danube bridge with the European Investment Bank which extends the deadline for absorbing the loan granted for the project until 2011.
The bridge between Bulgaria's Vidin and Romania's Calafat was supposed to be ready by the fall of 2010 but its completion has been delayed, partly as a result of the differences in the Bulgarian and Romanian legislations for granting construction permits on certain plots as well as in the navigable portions of the Danube River.
