site.btaBorder Traffic Update

There is heavy traffic at some of Bulgaria's border control checkpoints with Romania, Border Police said on their website Thursday. The information is valid as at 6 am.

There is heavy traffic for trucks exiting Bulgaria through the Kardam border control checkpoint and for cars in both directions at all border crossings with Romania. Due to repair works of the Giurgiu-Ruse bridge over the Danube on the Bulgarian side, traffic is controlled by  traffic lights to let vehicles through in stages.

At the border with Greece, there is normal traffic at all border crossings. Tourists heading to Greece are advised to use alternative checkpoints to Kulata and Makaza to avoid slower crossing, such as Ilinden and Zlatograd, respectively. The Kapitan Petko Voyvoda crossing is also a good alternative. Heavy trucks are not allowed through the Makaza, Zlatograd, and Ivaylovgrad checkpoints.

Traffic at the border crossings with Serbia, North Macedonia, and Turkiye is normal.
