site.btaBorder Traffic Update

Traffic for lorries is heavy at some border control check points with Romania and Greece, the General Directorate Border Police reported on their website early Thursday.

At the border with Romania, there is heavy traffic through the Oryahovo, Durankulak and Nikopol border control checkpoints for lorries exiting Bulgaria.

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 and Krushari are open daily between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and lorries are not allowed through them.

Traffic at the border crossings with Greece is heavy at the Kulata checkpoint for lorries entering Bulgaria.

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

Traffic at the border crossings with Serbia, Turkiye and the Republic of North Macedonia is normal. Some difficulties in crossing the border with the Republic of North Macedonia at Gyueshevo are possible.
