Preparation for a new roundabout on road I-2 near Shumen

Upcoming changes in the organization of traffic on road I-2 in the Shumen area will come into force from June 20. Restrictions will be imposed on the passage of heavy vehicles on the section at the 118th km of the first-class road and on the road connection connecting road I-2 and the Hemus motorway at the 350th km. The traffic of heavy vehicles in the direction from the Hemus motorway to Varna, Ruse, Burgas and Shumen will be redirected through the Belokopitovo road junction on the motorway at the 339th km.

The construction and installation works in the 600-meter section will be carried out in three stages within 240 calendar days from the opening of the construction site. The construction of the new roundabout to the Shumen Industrial Park, which will replace the current three-way intersection, will be financed under the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism, Component 3 "Smart Industry" of the Recovery and Resilience Plan.
