The repair of the "Trakia" Motorway in the section from the 23rd to the 34th kilometer and the heavy rain, extend the road from the capital to Plovdiv by over 1 hour. Traffic is diverted through Elin Pelin and Novi Han. However, there was also an accident there at 1:30 p.m. - a car turned upside down on the road, hindering traffic, a reporter from FACT saw.
Returning to the highway, a little before Ihtiman, there is about a 20-minute traffic jam in the direction of Plovdiv.
Unfortunately, the bypass roads through Vakaler and Inhitamn are also in very poor condition, admits the mayor of Ihtiman Kaloyan Iliev.
The repair activities on the "Trakia" should be completed by October 25, but only if weather conditions permit.
