Lyulin Motorway will be Part of Struma, Kalotina-Sofia Renamed to Europe Motorway

The Lyulin motorway will be part of the Struma motorway, while the Kalotina-Sofia road is renamed to Europe Motorway that will include the new beltway north of Sofia city. This is stipulated in a decision by which government reaffirmed the list of national roads and approved the list of national roads with tolls, the government press office said, reports Focus News Agency. 

The Lyulin motorway is being integrated into Struma because of its small length of only 19.6 km and the fact that it is the natural beginning of the Struma path. Thus, the Sofia-Pernik section will be part of the road Sofia-Pernik-Dupnitsa-Blagoevgrad-Simitli-Kresna-Sandanski-border with Greece.
