Traffic is moving normally at the country’s border checkpoints

Traffic is moving normally at the country’s border checkpoints and crossing points, the Border Police reported. Temporary traffic arrangements remain in place at the Ruse-Giurgiu border crossing due to construction work on the Danube Bridge near Ruse.

Traffic for passenger cars on the Yundola-Yakoruda road has been restored. However, due to a landslide and the collapse of a retaining wall, vehicles weighing more than 12 tonnes are prohibited from using the road. The speed limit on the 36-kilometre stretch beyond Avramovo railway station towards Eleshnitsa village has been reduced to 50 km/h.

Bad weather is expected to delay repairs to a three-kilometre section of the road through the Vladaya Pass by several days beyond 20 November, the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works has announced. Adverse weather conditions are hampering construction work and making an extension of the deadline necessary.

Two people have been killed and 39 injured in 30 serious road traffic accidents across the country over the past 24 hours, the Traffic Police reported.

Since the beginning of November, three people have lost their lives and 55 have been injured in 40 serious road accidents.

Since the start of 2026, Bulgaria has recorded 5,813 serious road traffic accidents, claiming 416 lives and leaving 7,205 people injured. Compared with the same period in 2025, the number of road fatalities has increased by 41.
