The traffic of some of the the border points with Romania is intense, both for trucks and cars, it is clear from a reference of the General Directorate of Border Police.
On the border with Romania traffic is heavy at border checkpoints (BCP) “Vidin” and “Cardam” at the exit for trucks and cars. Border authorities recommend using alternative routes.
Due to the low level of the Danube River, the ferry platform at the Oryahovo border crossing still not working.
A temporary organization of the traffic has been introduced due to the main repair of the Bulgarian section of the Danube Bridge near Ruse. The traffic takes place in one lane with a through mode and is regulated by a traffic light system. In addition to Ruse border crossing, drivers in the region can also go to Silistra border crossing, Kardam border crossing, Durankulak border crossing, Kaynardzha border crossing and Krushari border crossing. The last two are open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. every day, and trucks are not allowed through them.
On the border with Greece traffic is normal at all border checkpoints.
In connection with the significantly increased crossings of the large number of Romanian tourists traveling to and from Greece through the “Kulata” and “Makaza” border crossing points, the State Police advises to use alternative checkpoints on the Bulgarian-Greek border, which are less busy and allow faster passage.
Tourists traveling to resorts in the area of Thessaloniki, Kavala and the Halkidiki Peninsula can pass through the Ilinden border crossing as an alternative to the Kulata border crossing. Tourists traveling to resorts in the area of Xanthi, Komotini and o. Thassos, can use the “Zlatograd” checkpoint as an alternative to the “Makaza” checkpoint. For resorts in the area of Alexandroupolis, it is recommended to pass through the “Captain Petko Voivoda” checkpoint.
Through the border posts “Makaza”, “Zlatograd” and “Ivaylovgrad” only cars and vans are allowed to pass.
On the borders with Serbia and Turkey movement is normal at all border checkpoints.
On the border with the Republic of North Macedonia, traffic is also normal at all border checkpoints.
At the end of August, at the Gueshevo border crossing, the implementation of activities under a contract related to the construction of the European Union (EU) entry/exit system began, the Border Police recalled. The cabins for border checks of passing trucks will be dismantled and replaced with new ones. The traffic of passing trucks will be temporarily diverted through the lanes for passing cars. Certain difficulties are possible when crossing the Gueshevo border crossing.
