Traffic is heavy at the Kapitan Andreevo and Lesovo border checkpoints on Bulgaria’s border with Turkiye for exiting trucks, the Border Police said on their website on Thursday morning.

Traffic is normal at all other border checkpoints with Romania, Serbia, Greece and North macedonia. 

A temporary traffic arrangement has been introduced on the Bulgarian section of the Danube Bridge border checkpoint with Romania near Ruse due to ongoing repair work. Traffic there is currently limited to a single lane. All other checkpoints along the Romanian border are operating normally.

On the border with the Republic of North Macedonia, reconstruction work continues at the Stanke Lisichkovo checkpoint, resulting in restricted traffic lanes. Traffic at the other border crossings with North Macedonia remains normal.

The Border Police recalled that construction work is underway on the Greek side of the Rudozem - Xanthi checkpoint. Greek authorities have placed signs indicating that the area is a construction site, restricting access to outsiders. Only passenger cars and minibuses of up to 3.5 tonnes are allowed to pass through the Makaza, Zlatograd, and Ivaylovgrad border checkpoints.
