Four repairs create conditions for difficulty with Trakia traffic difficulties
Four repairs, which will continue until the end of June, create conditions for difficulty with Trakia highway traffic over the three weekends around May 24. The total length of the sections being updated is 49 kilometers, using one of the two sails.
The first of the repairs is at a kilometer of 10 and lasts as many as 13 kilometers. Traffic in the canvas in the direction of Burgas is restricted, with traffic passes two -way to the canvas to Sofia. Today and on Saturday there will be two lanes for travelers to Burgas and one for those moving to Sofia. On Sunday and Monday, the two strips will be in the direction of Sofia.
If necessary, depending on the traffic load, restrictions will be introduced on the dash, according to the Road Infrastructure Agency, and they will be redirected on a bypass route or stopped.
The second problem section of Trakia is in the Pazardzhik region between the 98th and 106th kilometers. The canvas for Sofia is being repaired and the traffic is transferred to this to Burgas. And here there will be two lanes to move to the more busy direction.
Is there an alternative
The Trakia highway is also repaired between 119 and 108 in the canvas in the direction of Sofia in Plovdiv District. Traffic passes two-way into the lane to Burgas with two lanes in the direction with more busy traffic.
« Great safety » on dangerous roads turned out to be under 6 kilometers
The fourth repair, on the busiest highway in the country, is in Sliven District (from km 239 to km 251). The canvas cannot be used in the direction of Burgas, and all traffic is redirected to Sofia with a reversible movement.
As an alternative to the Thrace highway, drivers can use the sub -Balkan road, which is in good condition, and during this period of the year it is very beautiful.
Tradition commands: « Hemus » is repaired
The problems on the Hemus Highway remain for these weekends, where the repairs of the Tunnels « Pravish Khan and » Warm Dol « and the viaduct between the tunnels » Vitinia « and » Warm Dol « (between kilometers 30 and 37).
In an attempt to facilitate the movement today and on Saturday of Hemus, there will be a temporary traffic organization, with travelers in the direction of thicker traffic will use two lanes. It is not excluded that it will be necessary to redirect travelers to Sofia to the old road through the Vitinya Pass on Friday and Saturday. On Monday, a restriction on the use of the highway may be available for travelers in the direction of Varna. If necessary, heavy goods vehicles weighing over 12 tonnes will also be stopped.
Road Police warn drivers not to use the emergency lane on highways in traffic seats. The sanction is 1000 BGN and is taken away with the book for three months.
The road to Greece is also with the potential for congestion
Serious congestion is also expected along the main road from Bulgaria to Greece (to the Kulata border checkpoint). The most neuralgic place is near Simitli, and no traffic to facilitate traffic was announced last night. There will probably also be two strips here to the more busy direction. An option to avoid traffic is to go out through one of the other border points.
How to be prepared
On the highways « Struma », « Maritza », « Black Sea » and « Europe » there are no serious repairs to confuse traffic, but a catastrophe is sufficient to form columns.
In this sense, it is useful before leaving the road to check on the website of the Road Infrastructure Agency for catastrophes, whether there are no problems somewhere on the route. It is also recommended to use real -time traffic data apps such as Google Maps and Waze.
Police are back on foot
Complete mobilization of all Road Police officers, control of traffic with uninformed cars and the use of all operating devices to control the speed and use of alcohol will also be along these weekends. The number of orders is not specified, but certainly the busiest road sections will be covered.
