Traffic is intense at some border crossing checkpoints with Romania, Greece, Serbia and Turkiye on Saturday morning, according to the website of Border Police.

At the border with Romania, traffic is heavy at the checkpoints Vidin, Ruse and Kardam at the exit for trucks. Due to major repairs on the Bulgarian section of the Danube Bridge at Ruse, traffic is temporarily reorganized in one lane, regulated by traffic lights. In addition to the Ruse checkpoint, drivers in the region can also head to Silistra, Kardam, Durankulak, Kainardzha and Krushari checkpoints. The last two have opening hours from 8 am to 8 pm every day and no trucks are allowed through them.

At the border with Greece, traffic is heavy at Kulata and Makaza’s entrances for cars. In view of the significantly increased number of Romanian tourists travelling to and from Greece passing through the Kulata and Makaza border crossing points, travellers are advised to use alternative crossing points at the Bulgarian-Greek border, which are less congested and allow faster crossing. 

Only cars and vans are allowed to pass through Makaza, Zlatograd and Ivaylovgrad.

Traffic is heavy at Kalotina on the border with Serbia, at the exit for cars. 

Traffic is also heavy at the Kapitan Andreevo and Lesovo checkpoints on the border with Turkiye, at the entrance for cars.

At the border with North Macedonia, traffic is normal at all border crossing points.
