Another Restriction for Heavy Vehicles on Busy Roads Over the Weekend

Friday, July 17, from 16:00 to 23:00, and Sunday, July 19, from 15:30 to 22:00, will see a temporary restriction on the movement of heavy goods vehicles over 12 tons. The restriction applies to the Trakia and Struma motorways, as well as to I-1 road through the Kresna Gorge – from the Simitli interchange (km 376) to the Kresna interchange on the Struma Motorway (km 402).

Movement will be restricted in both directions. For heavy goods vehicles, detour routes are provided: along I-6 (South Suburban Road) for those traveling to and from Burgas, and for traffic to and from the Kulata border crossing, the alternative route is along II-19 Simitli – Gotse Delchev, then along III-198 Gotse Delchev – Kulata and III-1981 to I-1 near Kulata, and the reverse direction as well.

To facilitate traffic through the Kresna Gorge, a reversible traffic arrangement will be introduced in the Simitli area – on Friday with two lanes toward Kulata, and on Sunday with two lanes toward Sofia.

The restriction does not apply to buses, vehicles carrying dangerous goods, livestock, perishable food products, vehicles of road maintenance companies, and other vehicles exempted by order.
