Due to the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays, traffic on the Danube Bridge near Ruse will be restored in both directions from December 18 this year. Construction work on the currently closed 320-meter section of the lane in the direction of Romania is being completed. Thus, on the Christmas and New Year holidays, all types of vehicles will pass without restrictions. This was announced by the "Road Infrastructure" Agency (API).
In this way, travelers will be provided with safe and comfortable passage on the facility.
The main repair of the bridge in the next stage will continue at the beginning of next year. "It is planned that construction and installation works will continue from January 8 in the next 320 meters of the bridge in the lane towards Bulgaria", explained the RIA.
Over the last week, a railing, lighting poles and a drainage collector have been installed on the site. The renovation of the ridge joints and the laying of a protective coating on the pavement block have continued.
The activities on the Danube Bridge are carried out daily during the daylight hours and depending on weather conditions. The work process is organized and carried out so that vehicles can pass in stages in both directions in the lane where work is not being done.
The beginning of the major repair of the Bulgarian section of the facility was set on July 10 last year. It is 1.057 kilometers long. 413 meters of it have already been fundamentally repaired.
