The Danube Bridge (also known as the Friendship Bridge;[1][2] Bulgarian: Мост на дружбата, Most na druzhbata or, more commonly, Дунав мост, Dunav most; Romanian: Podul Prieteniei or Podul de la Giurgiu) is a steel truss bridge over the Danube River connecting the Bulgarian bank to the south with the Romanian bank to the north and the cities of Ruse and Giurgiu respectively. It is one of only two bridges connecting Romania and Bulgaria, the other one being the New Europe Bridge between the cities of Vidin and Calafat.
