"Traffic is hampered due to the repair works that are being carried out on the Bulgarian side of the bridge, respectively the Bulgarian authorities are carrying out repair works on an expansion joint of the bridge between Ruse and Giurgiu on the part of the bridge that is under their management.
The repair activities are being carried out during the day, during which the traffic on the bridge takes place on a single lane, the traffic being directed by road signs and traffic lights," Raluca Stan, the spokeswoman for the Giurgiu Border Police told AGERPRES on Tuesday.
