On March 27, traffic on the Danube Bridge near Ruse on the border with Romania will be suspended because of the ongoing major repairs. The passage of passenger cars will be limited from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and that of heavy vehicles for up to 24 hours - from 9:00 a.m. on March 27 to 9:00 a.m. on March 28, the Road Infrastructure Agency reports.

The laying of concrete mixtures as part of the repair requires that there be no vehicle traffic for at least the first 12 hours after pouring them, in order to ensure the strength of the concrete.

When traffic on the Danube Bridge is suspended, drivers of heavy vehicles will be able to use parking lots and recreation areas in the districts of Ruse, Veliko Tarnovo, Yambol and Haskovo.

The repair of the facility began on July 10, 2024.
