Construction works of Danube-Black Sea Canal bridge to start this year

Construction works of a bridge over the Danube-the Black Sea Canal and two projects of railway capacity development in Constanta Port (south-east, at Black Sea) will be launched in 2009, announced on Thursday Romanian Transport Minister Radu Berceanu present in the meeting 'Port Development. Construction of Constanta-Rotterdam Logistics Corridor', organized on board of 'HNLMS Johan de Witt' ship.

'Following the implementation of these projects we hope that, starting 2014, we will have a fluent navigation throughout the year', he underlined.

The Minister of Transport appreciated the Danube as a very important pan-European motorway, designated as Rhine-Main-Danube priority axis, a direct transport link using the navigable thoroughfares connecting the two Europe's poles: Rotterdam Port and Constanta Port.

Despite that, according to transport capacity, at present, the Danube is used just in a proportion of 10-15 percent and there are numerous opportunities to intensify the exchange of goods between the riparian countries.

In this context the Minister of Transport announced that, in 2009, works will be launched in order to improve navigation conditions on Calarasi (south)-Braila (east) sector and, in 2011, on the joint Romanian-Bulgarian sector. As well, throughout this year, modernization works of the river ports infrastructure will be launched, with priority those where investments are private.

As regards the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure priorities, Minister Radu Berceanu reiterated they are modernization of Constanta-Bucharest railway line and of Cernavoda-Constanta (south-east) motorway segment.

Attending the meeting 'Port Development. Construction of Constanta-Rotterdam Logistics Corridor' there were President Traian Basescu and Dutch Deputy Minister of Transport Tineke Huizinga.
