Traffic at the Kapitan Andreevo border control check point at the border with Turkiye is heavy for passenger cars entering Bulgaria and at the Kalotina border control check point at the border with Serbia for passenger cars leaving Bulgaria, the General Directorate Border Police reported on Saturday morning.

Construction works are taking place at the Rudozem - Xanthi route on the Greek side. Only cars and vans up to 3.5 tonnes are allowed to pass through the border crossings in the areas near Makaza, Zlatograd and Ivaylovgrad. The road to Xanthi via Zlatograd is closed on the Greek side from August 25 to September 13 due to repair work. During this period, it is recommended to travel via Makaza.

Traffic through the Stanke Lisichkovo border crossing has been restored in both directions. Traffic is normal at the other border crossing points with the Republic of North Macedonia as well.

The ferry platform servicing the Oryahovo-Bechet line has suspended operations indefinitely since August 22 due to low levels of the Danube.

Renovation work on the Bulgarian section of the Danube Bridge at Ruse is ongoing. Temporary traffic arrangements have been introduced. Traffic is limited to a single lane.
