IMPORTANT: Crossing Conditions for the Vidin-Calafat Bridge and Adjacent Infrastructure
Due to deteriorating weather conditions, we inform all drivers that the bridge roadway, as well as the access ramps and adjacent infrastructure, have been promptly cleared and sanded.

Despite the measures taken, we remind you that the risk of sudden icing and slippery surfaces is higher on bridge structures due to specific airflow and moisture levels over the river.

We urge all drivers to exercise increased caution:

  • Reduce speed before entering the bridge zone and road junctions.

  • Avoid sudden maneuvers and abrupt braking on the bridge.

  • Maintain a greater following distance, as braking distances in these sections can be unpredictable.

  • Be prepared for strong side wind gusts, which are common on the open sections of the bridge.

We call for responsible driving to ensure your safety and the safety of all road users!
