The RIA reminds that on “Hemus“ between the 1st and 8th kilometers in the direction of Varna, the speed is limited to 90 km/h, and vehicles over 12 tons are moving only in the emergency lane due to the unsatisfactory condition of the pavement.

In the Burgas region, road markings are being laid between the 342nd and 348th kilometers in the direction of Burgas, with the speed limited to 80 km/h. There are other sections along the route with temporary markings and restrictions of up to 100 km/h in the Pazardzhik and Stara Zagora districts.
