The price hike proposal is included in an order of the minister of Transports and Infrastructure.
The fees will increase by 10% in a first stage, and up to the settled level as of April 1, 2013 due to the negative social-economic impact upon transport operators and natural persons.
The ministry also included some facilities. Thus, the fee for the cars and goods transport vehicles with a total maximum allowed mass smaller or equal to 3,5 tons will be decreased by 20% for 20 transitions valid until December 31 each year.
Also, the fees for the other categories of vehicles will also be decreased by 13% for 20 transitions valid until December 31 each year.
Another facility is called the “Bridge Day,” during which all vehicles could cross the bridge free of charge. The “Bridge Day” will be on December 23 for Giurgeni and on May 15 for Fetesti.
Also, the motorcycles could cross the bridges free of charge.
As regards the Danube bridge from Giurgiu to Ruse route, the fees are in euros and will be kept unchanged.
