Romania will have a new border crossing point in Maramures, on the border with war-torn Ukraine, where a bridge will be built across the River Tisa. The new road enables trade not only between the two countries, but it’s also an access point to the EU for Ukrainian goods.
The project, which many consider the most important one in the county since the fall of Communism, is owned by the Maramureș County Council in partnership with Romania’s National Company for Road Infrastructure Administration (CNAIR).
The total value of the project is approximately €30.4 million (RON147.9 million) and will be financed in the next two years by the Large Infrastructure Operational Programme.
Although we’re saying “bridge” over the Tisa, the plural would be more precise, as the project will consist of two parallel bridges, 3 meters apart, one bridge for each direction of traffic, with two lanes in each direction and a total length of 261.20 meters. The project also includes the construction of 1.2 kilometers of new road, 5 drainage bridges, 1 roundabout, and a border crossing with parking.
