On March 12, traffic on the Danube Bridge near Ruse will be restricted

On Thursday, March 12, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., traffic for all types of vehicles will be restricted on the Danube Bridge near Ruse due to emergency road surface repairs, the Road Infrastructure Agency announced. The work will be carried out on the section of the bridge that has not undergone major renovation.

The main renovation of the bridge is being carried out in stages, and work is currently taking place on a 320-meter section of the roadway in the direction toward Bulgaria.

During the restriction period, drivers can use the first-class road I-1 Sofia - Vidin and Danube Bridge 2 as an alternative route to Romania. Another possible detour is via road I-7 Silistra - Shumen, from the connection with the Hemus Motorway to the Silistra border checkpoint.

This is expected to be the last emergency repair on the route. It is planned that during the first week of April, the roadway in the direction toward Bulgaria will be completed and all traffic will pass on the newly renovated lane.
