The snow trap of AM “Trakia” turned into a nightmare for all drivers who set out on the road this evening. Readers of “Focus” reported that traffic on the highway is currently closed for cleaning.
A column of dozens of cars formed both before and after the Trajan’s Gate tunnel in the direction of Plovdiv. Eyewitnesses reported jammed shooting ranges and wrecked cars.
Like “Focus” informed earlier this evening, the highway was not prepared for the snowfall. There were no snowplows on site or crews to respond. This resulted in slow moving drivers, low visibility and dozens of warning signs to avoid travel.
Shortly before 2:00 a.m., readers of “Focus” informed us that they were stopped an hour and a half earlier at the Pazardzhik turnoff in the direction of Sofia and do not know when they will continue.
API informed that traffic on the “Trakia” highway in the direction of Pazardzhik and vice versa is temporarily restricted for all vehicles due to snow removal. Drivers wait in place in the emergency lane, and the situation is regulated by the Traffic Police and Signaling.
Drive carefully.
