Arcada și Alstom modernizează linia București–Giurgiu

The railway connection between Romania and Bulgaria will be completely closed for over eight months in 2027 for modernization and electrification works. From April 5 to December 13, 2027, passenger and freight trains will not be able to cross the Danube Bridge on the Giurgiu-Ruse route, necessitating the redirection of international traffic. The project, valued at 2.108 billion lei, aims to upgrade 93.45 kilometers of railway, enhancing speed and safety with modern signaling systems. The closure will significantly impact freight transport, as this route is crucial for connections to Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. The project is funded by the EU and aims to complete the modernization by September 2028, transforming the Bucharest-Giurgiu link into a modern electrified route.
