APIC Announces Plans to Repair 65 Kilometers of the Vakarel – Panagyurishte Road

The Road Infrastructure Agency announced that it includes in its investment program a project for the major repair of a total of 65.2 kilometers of the third-class road III-801, which connects Vakarel, Belitsa, Poibrene, Oborishte, and Panagyurishte. The route is divided into two sections: the first is about 25 kilometers and covers the stretch between the villages of Vakarel and Belitsa in Sofia Region, and the second about 40 kilometers – from Belitsa to Slivchka (Strelcha) in Pazardzhik Region.

For the first section in Sofia Region, at this stage the technological project for the repair has been finalized. The documentation has already been reviewed by a technical council at the Regional Road Administration in Sofia, with the designer correcting the noted remarks. APi states that the preparation of the project documentation is the first mandatory step before the start of construction and installation works. After the project is approved, the specific activities, necessary funds, and deadlines for implementation will be defined.

For the 40-kilometer section in Pazardzhik Region, a technical project for major repair has already been approved. It remains to obtain a permit from the Basin Directorate for the use of the water body, after which the repair preparation will begin. Road III-801 is of key importance for transport connectivity between Sofia and Pazardzhik Regions, providing a direct link between numerous settlements.

Until the start of the major repair works on the route, periodic current repairs and maintenance works are carried out. Among them are machine potholing of the pavement, clearing roadside vegetation, leveling the berms, and cleaning the drainage ditches, aimed at road safety.
