Increased traffic to Sofia and other major cities in the last of the series of holidays. The checks of the “Traffic Police” are also continuing. In total, more than 8,000 employees are participating in the actions during the holidays, NOVA reported.
The busiest are the routes along the highways, as well as to the border points - mostly from Greece and Turkey. There was a traffic jam in the Simitli area on Monday afternoon. In the direction of the “Struma“ the column barely moves, it often stops, the blockage on the road from Bansko reaches the village of Gradevo, and on E-79 from Kresna through the entire gorge to Simitli. The 500 meters to the start of the highway after Simitli is very slow because of the confluence of the two streams. There are also overheated cars. After taking over the traffic from "Struma" there is no problem with moving in the direction of Sofia.
And today there were traffic changes on the “Hemus” highway to avoid traffic jams. In the tunnel “Topli dol" two lanes were separated in the direction of Sofia and one towards Varna. Through “Praveski inns" there were two lanes in the direction of Sofia and traffic to Varna was restricted.
A huge traffic jam has also formed on AM "Thrakia" in the direction of Sofia. The traffic jam was in the Pazardzhik area - around the 90th kilometer. Cars were moving extremely slowly on the autobahn. In the afternoon, traffic was absolutely blocked in the section between Plovdiv and Sofia, NOVA viewers signaled.
