Bulgarian-Romanian Bridge Builders Fashion Concrete Christmas Tree

Workers on the construction site of the second Bulgarian-Romanian Danube bridge at Vidin-Calafat have created a Christmas tree out of concrete blocks for a third year in a row.

The concrete blocks are made in the laboratory of the construction site as concrete solidity samples for respective parts of the bridge infrastructure, explained a statement of Spanish construction company FCC, which has been building Danube Bridge 2.

The 2011 Christmas tree in Vidin has been made out of 844 concrete blocks, and features 38 meters of Christmas lights and decoration.

The bridge itself, whose construction has been greatly delayed for a number of factors, is already completed at more than 70%.
