The Bulgarian Ministry of Transport and Communications announced that it has received funding approval from the European Union for the construction of a new intermodal terminal in the city of Ruse, located in the north of the country on the border with Romania. The project is part of a broader program to develop the region’s transport infrastructure and aims to strengthen Bulgaria’s logistics potential.
A modern intermodal rail terminal with covered platforms and seven tracks is planned for Ruse. The project also includes the restoration of rail service across the Danube Bridge and the construction of a new access route connecting the terminal with the city’s Northern Industrial Zone. The total project cost is estimated at approximately €60 million.
The future terminal will include administrative buildings, a cargo handling area, a customs checkpoint, warehouses, and parking areas, and will be designed to handle intermodal transport using rail and road transport. The National Company for Railway Infrastructure of Bulgaria plans to begin public procurement procedures for the design and construction in January 2026, and after the completion of the work, management of the facility is expected to be transferred to a private operator.
