The entrance portal from Constanta on the first railway bridge built over the Danube between 1890-1895 under the management of the Romanian Dipl.-Eng. Anghel  Saligny(1854-1925) as it looked in the 1960s. Between 1895-1948 the bridge name was "Podul Regele Carol I", but in 1948 the communists changed to " Podul ing. Anghel Saligni". We hope that the bridge's name will be restored to "Podul Regele Carol I" as Dipl.Eng. Anghel Saligny strongly disagreed that the bridge bears ever his name.
