The Danube metropolitan area[2] or Galați-Brăila metropolitan area is a proposed metropolitan area project in Romania. It would be formed from the cities of Galaţi and Brăila.[3][4] Together they have a population of about 430,000 people.[1]
Overview
If completed, it would represent the second-largest metropolitan zone in Romania after Bucharest. Motorways, a new airport in Vădeni, and a bridge across the Danube connecting Brăila and Galați Counties to Tulcea County have been proposed.[5]
The metropolitan area has a border checkpoint to Moldova and Ukraine. Galaţi is located 10 km (6.2 mi) from Giurgiuleşti and 20 km (12 mi) from Reni.
