The queue of trucks at the Danube Bridge border checkpoint near Ruse is about a kilometre long at noon on Tuesday, August 27. The remaining trucks near the checkpoint are waiting mainly in the buffer parking area.
Officials at the border checkpoint informed that a total of 2,151 trucks passed the border in both directions over the last 24 hours. Of these, 990 entered Bulgaria, and 1,161 left the country.
Car traffic in the direction of Romania is normal, with drivers waiting between five and 10 minutes to cross the bridge. Border officials noted that the traffic of cars is expected to increase in the afternoon hours.
On July 10, Bulgaria started a major overhaul of the Bulgarian section of the 70-year-old Danube Bridge, which is why the traffic is carried out in only one lane and Border Police officers regulate the traffic in the area of construction and installation activities.
