According to Mayor Ilie Bolojan, the final value of the bridge is 3.3 million euro, of which 2.6 million euro is European grant, the difference being local co-financing. “I take this opportunity to thank the European Commission, through Mrs. Cretu, for the funding it has provided to Romania and implicitly, to our city, because every year since we joined the European Union we have doubled our investment budgets as a result of winning European projects.
