The Brăila Bridge (Шаблон:Lang-ro) is a road suspension bridge in Romania over the Danube river, between Brăila, a major city in eastern Romania, and the opposite bank of the river in Tulcea County, on the DN2S national road and European route E87.[1] It is the first bridge over the maritime Danube sector and the fourth bridge over the Romanian section of the river. At nearly 2 km in length, it is the largest bridge over the Danube,[2] and the third longest suspension bridge in the European Union.[3] The bridge improves road traffic accessibility of the Galați-Brăila area to Constanța and Tulcea, and connections of the Moldavia and Muntenia regions with Dobruja. The European Union co-funded the project with €363 million from Cohesion Policy funds.[2]

First studies for a bridge in the Lower Danube region were done in 1986, but the first prefeasibility study was conducted in 1996. The final feasibility study was finished in 2016 by Шаблон:Ill and Pegaso Ingegneria.[4]

In 2017, the bridge project was awarded to the Astaldi (now Webuild) and IHI Infrastructure Systems association for an estimated cost of 434 million, and the construction works started in December 2018.[5][6][7]

In May 2021, the construction of the two main pillars had finished, and preparations had been started to deploy the first cables across the bridge.[8] On 20 August 2021, it was reported that the construction of the bridge is on schedule and that half of the bridge was already done.[9]

The first of the 86 suspended segments of the roadway were installed in spring 2022, with the last one on 28 June 2022. The bridge was opened on 6 July 2023.[10]
