site.btaBorder Traffic Update

Traffic is heavy at some of the border crossings with Romania and Greece, as reported by the General Directorate Border Police's website early Tuesday.

At the border with Romania, there is heavy traffic for trucks exiting Bulgaria and for passenger cars entering the country through the Kardam border control checkpoint.

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. Alternative routes can go through the checkpoints at Silistra, Kardam, Durankulak, Kaynardzha or Krushari. Kaynardzha or Krushari are open daily between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and lorries are not allowed through them.

At the border crossings with Greece, there is heavy traffic for trucks leaving Bulgaria through the Kulata crossing.

Considering the heavy traffic at the Kulata and Makaza checkpoints, travellers are advised if possible to use alternative routes through the Ilinden, Zlatograd or Kapitan Petko Voyvoda checkpoints, depending on their destination.

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