Construction works are almost finished and the bridge toll will be EUR6, Fenechiu said.
According to estimates, over 100,000 vehicles will cross the 2-kilometer bridge yearly.
The bridge between Giurgiu and Ruse is currently the only bridge over the Danube on the Romanian-Bulgarian border.
In 2000, Romania and Bulgaria signed an agreement to build a second bridge, between Calafat and Vidin, but the project has been delayed because of funding issues, with Bulgarian officials criticizing their Romanian partners several times for their lack of commitment.
The Calafat-Vidin bridge is part of Pan-European Corridor IV linking Dresden (Germany) to Istanbul (Turkey).
Construction costs are expected to exceed EUR250 million.
