Bulgaria has prepared a project to help finance the construction of another ten kilometer-long section of the Sofia metro and at least 9 metro stations for the next EU programming period until 2027, a representative of Metropolitеn EAD announced in Brussels. The construction of the new section of Sofia metro is expected to begin in 2021 and will take nearly four years. As a result, the Sofia underground is expected to save the residents of the Bulgarian capital nearly 270,000 hours per day and reduce harmful emissions by 90,000 tons.
