Inaugurated on May 30, 2025, the Transilvania Bridge spans the Someș River in the city of Satu Mare. Accommodating road traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists, the structure connects the Independenței Boulevard and Micro 17 neighborhood on the left bank with Henri Coandă Boulevard on the right bank, while overlapping Strandului Street. Representing the city's largest infrastructure project since the 1990s, the cable-stayed bridge stands as a unique construction in north-western Romania and ranks among the longest cable-stayed bridges in the country.
