Major accident in "Briz" neighborhood leaves traces of destruction

Another water supply accident in the Varna neighborhood of "Briz" has led to a critical situation after a burst pipe destroyed part of the infrastructure. A large section of "Petar Skorchev" St. is completely impassable for vehicles.

Due to the steep terrain, the accumulated water mass has caused serious material damage to the ground floors of residential buildings in the area.

Difficult traffic and road collapses

A large sinkhole has formed in the asphalt pavement near "Varna" stadium. A huge volume of water poured directly onto "Vasil Levski" Blvd., which caused traffic difficulties and serious congestion during peak hours.

Water utility crews are working to repair the accident. Citizens are urged to avoid the area of the incident until the situation normalizes.
