“Bulgaria urges Romania to agree to the exploration, simultaneously, of the five possible points for the construction of more bridges over the Danube between the two countries. The Ministry of Transport in Sofia is contemplating giving the construction of such bridges and of part of the road infrastructure under concession,” Transport Minister Nikolay Sabev says in an interview with 24 Chasa newspaper.

The consulting bank that has already been selected for the concessions is in contact with the consortium of two Turkish and two South Korean companies which built the 3.5 kilometre-long bridge over the Dardanelles in the space of 4 years. The concession period includes the period of construction so that the investors have an interest in constructing the facilities more quickly, Minister Sabev said.
