"We are ready to launch the ferry once the road Nikopol-Pleven is completed," said the mayor.

Construction works are due end in September, so the new ferry line will be launched in October, although it was planned initially for September.

Zhelyazkov took part in the first dummy run of the new ferry line between the Bulgarian town of Nikopol and the Romanian town of Turnu Magurele, the narrowest point between the two countries along the river.

The trip will last between eight and ten minutes, Zhelazkov said cited by BTA, and the two ferry boats will perform daily 12 trips both ways, carrying up to six heavy vehicles and 30 light vehicles.

The total value of the project reaches EUR5 million. The contracts for the construction of the new ferry complex were signed by Bulgaria and Romania in 2004, and works began a year later, encountering several delays.
