There is heavy traffic at two of Bulgaria's border control checkpoints with Romania and Greece, Border Police said on their website Friday. 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. 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. The Durankulak crossing is closed to heavy-duty trucks from 4 pm to 10 pm on Friday.

At the border with Greece, there is heavy traffic for trucks exiting Bulgaria at the Kulata border crossing. Tourists heading to Greece are advised to use alternative checkpoints to Kulata and Makaza, 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 North Macedonia, Serbia, and Turkiye is normal.
