Lipcani -Radauti – most popular northern border crossing point

Lipcani-Radauti bridge became the most popular border crossing point in northern Moldova. More than 3,000 persons and over 1,000 units of transport crossed the bridge over the river Prut to Romania during the first week of its opening, Moldova's Border Guard Service said, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. The given point now works from 8 A.M. to 8 P.M., but the traffic through it is much larger that at other border crossing points working round-the-clock, the Border Guard Service says in a communique. The bridge was opened on February 15. The inaugural ceremony was attended by Chisinau and Bucharest officials. The opening of the border crossing point Lipcani-Radauti had been delayed for several years owing to the unfinished infrastructure works. The bridge was built with money provided by the European Union. It cost 11 million euros.
