Bulgaria-Romania Danube Bridge 2 generates 43 million Euro in revenue since launch
Danube Bridge 2 linking Bulgaria’s Vidin with Calafat in Romania has generated revenue of 43 million Euro since opening for road and rail traffic in the middle of June 2013, Bulgarian Transport Minister Ivaylo Moskovski has said, quoted by Sofia news agency Novinite 2016-06-15 22:18:34 - From the Print Edition

Nearly 1.8 million vehicles have crossed the Danube in both directions between July 2013 and the beginning of May 2016, Moskovski said in a written reply to a question asked by a member of Parliament. Nearly 90 per cent of revenue from tolls was generated by trucks, with the remainder coming from passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Revenue from tolls is split between Bulgaria and Romania proportionately to the investment which each country has made in the construction of the bridge and adjacent infrastructure. Bulgaria has so far invested 287 million Euro versus Romania's 83.5 million Euro, according to the Bulgarian official. Bulgaria expects to fully recover its investment by 2031 if the charges for using the bridge remain at their current levels. Crossing the bridge in one direction costs 6 Euro for passenger cars and light trucks of up to 3.5 tonnes. Tolls for heavier trucks start at 12 Euro and reach 37 Euro depending on the vehicles' total maximum permissible weight, while buses pay 25 Euro.
