The Tsarevo – Izgrev – Malko Tarnovo road is closed to traffic. The bridge near Nestinarka beach is also closed, as is the road from Tsarevo through Arapya campsite to Lozenets. Flooded streets in Burgas are making traffic difficult due to hours of heavy rain. Flooded streets and fallen trees are also disrupting traffic in Plovdiv. Reports of fallen trees and difficult road conditions have also come in from the districts of Ruse, Razgrad and Varna. Due to snowfall, the Petrohan Pass has been closed for clearing.
