The Danube Expressway or Galați–Brăila Expressway (Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Drumul expres Galați–Brăila) is an expressway under construction in the south-eastern part of Romania, that will probably be labelled as the DEx6. It will link the cities of Galați and Brăila, be 11km (07miles) long and serve as an alternative to the existing two-lane DN22B (Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Drumul Național 22B) road.[1]
Under construction as of 2021, the expressway is being built by the Romanian company Spedition UMB with scheduled opening in 2024, costing 371 million lei.[2] It is part of the series of major infrastructure projects planned within the proposed Danube metropolitan area, which includes a bridge over the Danube river in Brăila.
