Nearly 300 snowplows treat road surfaces in areas with snowfall to ensure safe travel for motorists on national roads.

The processing of the pavements continues, announced the press center of API.

Due to heavy snowfall, the movement of heavy goods vehicles over 12 tons through the highest Staroplanina pass "Troyanski" is restricted.

For snow removal, the movement of heavy goods vehicles over 12 tons with trailers and semi-trailers is restricted through the "Prevala", "Rozhen" and "Pechinsko" passes /road III-867 Srednogortsi - Zlatograd/.

The teams of the road maintenance companies monitor the weather forecasts and take the necessary actions to treat the routes to ensure the passability of the roads.

The priority is the motorways, the busiest routes on the first-class and second-class road network and the passages providing connections between Northern and Southern Bulgaria.

The Road Infrastructure Agency appeals to drivers to go on the road with cars prepared for winter conditions, to drive at a speed consistent with the road conditions, not to undertake risky maneuvers, as well as overtaking the snow removal equipment.

The blocking of traffic by vehicles that are not prepared for winter conditions makes it difficult for all other drivers to travel and the work of snow removal equipment.

All citizens and transport companies can receive information about the current road situation and the winter maintenance of the republican network from the website of the API - www.api.bg, as well as at any time of the day by calling 0700 130 20 at the API.

In the agency, a Situation Center operates year-round, 24 hours a day, which collects and summarizes data on the state of the republic's roads.
