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

At the border with Romania, there is heavy traffic for trucks exiting Bulgaria through the Kardam border control checkpoint and for passenger cars in both directions at all border crossings. 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 heavy traffic for passenger cars exiting Bulgaria at the Kulata and Makaza border crossings. Tourists heading to Greece are advised to use alternative checkpoints, 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.

At the border with Serbia, there is heavy traffic for passenger cars entering Bulgarian through the Kalotina checkpoint.

At the border with Turkiye, there is heavy traffic for passenger cars exiting Bulgaria through the Kapitan Andreevo crossing.

Traffic at the border crossings with North Macedonia is normal.
