“Important stage for electronic payment when crossing the Giurgiu-Ruse bridge! Today we have designated the winner for the electronic toll collection system for crossing the Giurgiu-Ruse bridge from Romania“, announced on Thursday, the general director of CNAIR, Cristian Pistol, News writes.

According to him, after signing the contract, the winner of the auction (ALTIMATE SA) will have 844,500 lei (without VAT) and 6 months to implement the new system.

The contract is financed from CNAIR's own revenues and provides for the development, on the shore from Romania, of two dedicated roads, equipped with high-speed barriers that will allow instant access by identifying the payment made online in advance.

“We thus want to limit the intervention of the human factor in the process of collecting tolls for cars and redistribution of personnel in the points of control specific to goods transport vehicles. Through this project, we estimate that the waiting times in the Giurgiu border crossing point will be reduced and the degree of safety of vehicle traffic through this Border Crossing Point (BCR) will increase”, Pistol stated.

The contract can be signed within 10 days, if no objections are filed.
