Truck traffic is heavy at the border with Türkiye

Traffic is heavy at the Kapitan Andreevo and Lesovo border crossings for outbound trucks heading into Türkiye, the Border Police report. Traffic is normal at the other border crossings with Greece, North Macedonia, Serbia and Romania. Due to low water levels on the Danube River, the ferries at Oryahovo–Bechet and Svishtov–Zimnicea are not operating.

On October 1 at 10:30 a.m., traffic on the Trakia Motorway near Chirpan will be temporarily restricted to one lane in the carriageway toward Burgas due to maintenance and the replacement of cameras, the Road Infrastructure Agency announced.
