Bridge over the Danube River in Braila (Romania)
The Bridge over the Danube River in Braila (Romania) is the Romania's longest and Europe's third longest suspension bridge too, due to its central span, which measures 1,120 metres in length.
The project includes the design and construction of a suspension bridge over the Danube totalling 1,975 m in length, with a main span of 1,120 m, and two side spans 490 m and 365 m long.
The Bridge across the Danube River in Braila (Romania) will have four lanes, emergency lanes and pedestrian and cycle paths. On both sides, two 110-metre-long access viaducts will also be built (the measurement includes the anchoring block).
Two bridge access viaducts, 110 m in length, will also be built, in addition to 23 km of connecting roads.

Braila: inauguration nears for bridge built by Webuild in Romania
Inauguration nears for Romania's longest bridge – and the second longest suspended bridge on continental Europe: the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the built by a consortium led by Webuild over the Danube River will take place tomorrow.
The bridge has seen 1,350 people and 100 direct suppliers work on the project. It has a central span measuring 1,120 metres, a width that touches 31.7 metres and two towers that stand 192.4 metres in height.
Breathless. The Braila Bridge: A New Icon on the Danube
Two supporting cables, held in place by a tower on either shore, each standing 180 metres high. Cables that are formed by more than 18,000 intertwined steel fibres, or more than 9,000 for each one. Cables that weigh a combined 6,775 tonnes and whose fibres would stretch, if lined up end-to-end, 38,000 kilometres, nearly the circumference of the Earth.
These are some of the impressive features of the Bridge over the Danube River in Braila (Romania), a structure that has already become an icon on the Danube River in Romania before being completed.
