Name

I think that the name of this article should be "Vidin - Calafat bridge" since it is in fact the Bulgarian government that is the contractor of the project and its official name is just that...

Also, Vidin is the bigger town of the two so it has to be in the first place...

I'll just add that it even sounds way more natural - the shorter name in the first place then the longer one in second...

  • I support the "Vidin Calafat bridge" name. It is more descriptive. But I don't know naming conventions of Wikipedia for bridges. If it ain't right, then the current name should be kept.-- Iñfẽstør  T• C• U 15:59, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Structure of the Article

IMHO Tolls and Connecting road network are more important than History and Construction and should be placed in front. My argument is that when someone reads the article, he is more interested in the present and useful info (such as tolls and connecting roads), than the history and the construction process.

It may be more important to you, but in a logical order the sections should describe the subject of the article from its origins to the present time. Also, the connecting road network is not the main topic of the article, which is the bridge and the history of its construction. However, placing the connecting road network section after the history of the development does not depreciate its importance and can provide as useful information as the other sections above it. It is also easy to access by someone who is interested particularly about it by selecting it from the table of contents, which is at the beginning of the article.

What about the RAIL part?

This is an article about an international road and RAIL bridge. Still the rail part has not been mentioned with a word. ?!?
