Cycling Event in Varna: Traffic Restrictions on October 26th

On October 26 (Sunday) in the Varna region, the large-scale cycling event "Cycling Tour of Varna Lake" is scheduled to take place. The event, which is expected to attract many participants and spectators, necessitates the introduction of temporary changes in traffic organization on a part of the republican road network in the area. The decision, taken by the competent authorities, aims to ensure safe conditions for the competition, while minimizing inconvenience for other road users.

From 08:55 a.m. to 09:25 a.m., a temporary halt of traffic is foreseen on the key road I-9, known as Asparuhov Bridge. This is one of the main transport corridors in the region, which implies some delays for drivers within the specified interval.

Following this, between 09:30 a.m. and 12:50 p.m., a phased traffic organization will be introduced on the third-class road III-9004, connecting Varna and Beloslav. Passage on this section will be restricted, with intervals of time during which traffic will be stopped, so that cyclists can pass without hindrance.

In the afternoon, from 2:30 p.m. to 3:10 p.m., traffic will be restricted on road III-2008, which connects the "Povelianovo" quarter, Ezerovo and Varna. This is another key artery that will be affected by the event's organization.

Finally, from 3:10 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., traffic on the first-class road I-2, from the beginning of the city of Varna to the "Ikea" store, will be completely stopped. This implies significant difficulties for drivers passing through this part of the city within the specified interval.

During the introduced restrictions, vehicles will be forced to wait at the location for the cyclists to pass, after which traffic will be resumed. Teams of "Traffic Police" will be responsible for regulating traffic and ensuring safety. Officers are expected to be deployed on site to direct traffic and assist in the rapid passage of participants.

In connection with the upcoming event, the "Road Infrastructure Agency" appeals to all drivers to be careful, to strictly observe traffic rules and speed limits, and not to undertake risky overtaking. The aim is to ensure maximum safety for all road users.
