The development of the project begins in June 2000 with the signing of the Agreement between Republic of Bulgaria and the government of Rumania, regarding the technical, financial, legal and organizational matters, connected with the building of the bridge. The main goal of the project is the integration of the Bulgarian road and railway network with the pan-European transport network, through the development of the Transport Corridor №IV. This corridor is the backbone of the transport infrastructure, connecting Southeast with Central Europe. The building of a combined (road and railway) bridge, together with the other planed projects, regarding modernization of the main road and railway approaches to the bridge, and those which are being carried out will eliminate the bottle neck and the limitations by transporting people and goods. The new bridge will conduce to the economical development of the region and will generate a significant amount of work places. All short list participants are outstanding international consortiums with excellent reputation.
