Increasing accessibility to the TEN-T in the border area Negru – Voda - General Toshevo

Negru Vodă and General Toshevo are two tertiary nodes, according to the definition from the Applicant’s Guide, as both of them offer services (public and private) to their communities and beyond their administrative borders. For example, in Negru Vodă there are banks, social assistance facilities, a highschool, medical cabinets, an ambulance service anda post office.Negru Vodă is the only city on a radius of 32 km. In the same way, General Toshevo is the closest Bulgarian city to the Romanian border and its services are used by all the communities in the area. The two cities are connected through the European Road E675 and the Negru Vodă-Kardam custom point.From the data provided by the Romanian General Inspectorate of the Border Police, 94% of the heavy traffic in the Constanța-Dobrich cross-border area is orientated through the Negru Vodă custom point, as it represents the best alternative to the more congested, especially during summer season, Kavarna-Constanța road, part of the comprehensive TEN-T network. Still, some of the roads from Negru Vodă and General Toshevo, as highlighted by the feasibility studies, are in a poor and improper state for an efficient traffic. The project will improve the infrastructure of these roads, and therefore, the connection of cross-border tertiary nodes Negru Vodă and General Toshevo to the TEN-T infrastructure. The activities that will be implemented by the two beneficiaries in order to achieve the objective are related to project management, works (core activity) and publicity measures for a proper information of the public regarding the EU contribution. The estimated budget of the project is close to €8 mil, as specified in the detailed project budget below. The output of the project will consist in 25,53 km of upgraded roads and one joint mechanism to facilitate the connection of tertiary nodes to TEN-T infrastructure, resulting in an increase of the border population served by modernized infrastructure leading to TEN-T.
