Traffic restrictions for heavy-duty trucks
From 3:30 PM to 10:00 PM today, a movement restriction for trucks weighing over 12 tonnes is being introduced. The measure is in effect in both directions on the "Trakia" and "Struma" motorways, as well as through the Kresna Gorge.
The purpose of the restriction is to increase traffic safety on Sunday, when traffic toward major cities is intensive due to people returning from their holidays.
Alternative routes
- For Burgas and back: Use the Sub-Balkan road.
- For those traveling to the "Kulata" border checkpoint: The detour route passes through Simitli and Gotse Delchev.
A change in traffic organization has been arranged: two lanes have been provided for light vehicles in the direction of Sofia and one lane in the direction of Kulata.
Who is exempt from the ban?
The restriction does not apply to vehicles transporting:
- Dangerous goods (ADR);
- Live animals;
- Perishable food products.
