Formerly known as Danube Bridge 2, the New Europe Bridge is part of a major transport infrastructure upgrade in Bulgaria and Romania. The new road and rail bridge was constructed over the Danube River between Vidin, Bulgaria, and Calafat, Romania. It is also known as the Vidin-Calafat Bridge. A small port in the area and a temporary ferro-concrete dike in the Danube River were built to assist in the construction of the bridge. Along with two road tracks and an electric railway line, a pavement and bicycle alley were also constructed. The bridge is 1,971m-long with two lanes in each direction and a central railway line.
