Motorways in Bulgaria

As the March 3 national holiday weekend comes to a close, travelers are advised to brace themselves for heavy traffic on major roads and highways across the country.

In a continued display of frustration over unresolved issues in the agricultural sector, farmers across Bulgaria are staging highway blockades today. From the Yambol region to Kardzhali, and from Blagoevgrad to Pleven, farmers are taking to the roads to demand action from the government.

Farmers in Bulgaria are gearing up for another day of protests, continuing their demonstrations for the second consecutive day. Today, they plan to stage blockades on several key roadways from 10:00 to 13:00, amplifying their calls for action.

The border between Bulgaria and Romania has been brought to a standstill as over 100 Bulgarian farmers staged protests, blocking traffic in both directions for heavy goods vehicles. The demonstrations, which have caused major disruptions to transportation, are part of a widespread outcry by farmers from various sectors across the country.

An accident on the Trakia highway towards Plovdiv, near the Ikhtiman motel, has halted traffic, leading traffic police to divert vehicles onto alternate routes. There are currently over 400 snowplows operational across the nation's roads.

Again a situation with a child behind the wheel in Bulgaria. The boy was filmed sitting on a driver's lap and driving a bus with passengers on the Trakia highway.

The video was shot on Sunday around 11:00 a.m. on the Burgas-Sofia road. According to the onlooker who sent the signal to Nova TV, the vehicle was curving on the road.

There is a chance that the construction of the "Hemus" highway will continue this fall and that another 80 km will be ready by 2025.

This was said on Monday morning on Nova TV by the Minister of Regional Development and Public Works Andrey Tsekov.
