Following the snowfall, the road conditions in the country remain complicated. 489 snowplows are clearing the republican road network. The roads are being treated with anti-icing mixtures, as the low temperatures and the cessation of snowfall create a risk of ice.
Until late last night, the section between Byala Slatina and Knezha was closed. The reason - snowdrifts, reduced visibility and damaged vehicles. Due to snowdrifts, traffic was temporarily difficult in certain sections of the Ruse – Byala road. The route was temporarily closed to trucks over 12 tons. The heavy snowfall temporarily restricted the movement of trucks on the road between Varna - Dobrich until the snow was cleared. Due to an overturned truck during the day, the road between Veliko Tarnovo and Pavlikeni was briefly closed.
API (Road Infrastructure Agency) calls on drivers to set off with vehicles prepared for winter conditions and to drive at a speed appropriate for winter conditions, not to undertake risky maneuvers, as well as overtaking snow removal equipment.
