Nearly 24 hours after it was closed, Danube Bridge linking Ruse and Giurgiu is now open for trucks, regional governor Dragomir Draganov said. At 9 a.m. on November 5, trucks were allowed to pass through the facility. On November 4, at 8:30 p.m., the passing of cars and light trucks was resumed.

The complete closure was due to the technological time needed for concrete to gain strength during the ongoing renovation of the bridge, which was built in 1954.

At the request of the regional authorities, all 4 routes exiting the country towards Romania are open so that there are no delays when passing through the facility. The Customs Agency has also launched an additional 5th route so that waiting trucks can leave the country more quickly.
