Basarab Viaduct..
rridor, connecting Timisoara and Arad in the
western part of the company.
Basarab Viaduct:
The Basarab Viaduct is
north-east of Bucharest. It measures 1,950
metres and facilitates traffic and access to
the capital’s main tram network. There is a
station on the suspended section of the via-
duct with access to the metro system and
the train platforms at Gare du Nord.
In 2012, FCC Construcción was awarded
the ARACO Quality Trophy for the execution
of the viaduct. This infrastructure is one the
most important projects undertaken in Ro-
mania in the last 20 years and has become
an architectural point of reference for the re-
sidents of Bucharest.
Claudia Mierlita, the head of Contracts and
Insurance, pointed out that: “The Basarab
Bridge improves the flow of traffic in the Nor-
th Station (Gare du Nord) area and provides
access to the area between the station and
the Druml Taberei district which is now more
easy thanks to the construction of the Basa-
rab Bridge.”
Cristina Parvu, sales manager confirms:
“Romanian philately considers the Basarab
Viaduct a landmark of the capital city, an
arch over time and history·, the reason for
which postal stamps dedicated to this work
were issued in 2012”.
