A huge queue of trucks blocked the entrance to Vidin this afternoon. The cars have to wait for about 40 minutes to enter the city, BNR Vidin reports. Those who want to leave the city wait for an average of half an hour. The main reason for this is the huge number of trucks passing through the city. According to the Ministry of Interior, the long queues of trucks at the Danube Bridge 2 Vidin-Calafat in recent days have been caused by restricted traffic through the Pass of the Republic, where repair works are being carried out.

The mountain pass is the main road connection for transit freight traffic linking northern and southern Bulgaria.
