Old Bridge in Bratislava completed

The reconstruction of Old Bridge in Bratislava has been finally wrapped up after two years of complicated work, Bratislava mayor Ivo Nesrovnal announced at a press briefing on Tuesday. "I'm happy to announce to the people in Bratislava that the promise has been kept. The bridge has been finished properly, on time and for the contracted price - even though few people had believed it," said Nesrovnal. Some details, however, are yet to be finished, but this won't affect the project funding from EU funds in any way. If the contractual commitments had not been met by Tuesday midnight, the city would have had to return the funding. The Bratislava mayor told TASR that the city wants to see the process of approval for the pedestrian walkway of the bridge to be completed first.
