The new working program about the construction of the second bridge connecting Bulgaria and Romania over the Danube River envisages its completion in 2010.

The news was announced Friday in the city of Vidin by Bulgaria's Deputy Minister of Transport Vesela Gospodinova.

Gospodinova took part in a meeting on the bridge project, which is to connect Bulgarai's Vidin and Romania's Kalafat, together with representatives of the European Commission, the Secretary-General of the Romanian Ministry of Transport, MP Mihail Mikov, the District Governor Krustyo Spasov, and the Mayors of Vidin and Kalafat.

The construction works are planned to begin on April 15, as the necessary coastal facilities are to be constructed first.
