At night and in the morning, more than 700 snowplows process the road surfaces in areas with snowfall to ensure a safe journey for drivers on the republic's roads.

Paving continues.

It is snowing in the Smolyan region and in Northwestern Bulgaria. 

In the Smolyan region, the movement of motor vehicles with trailers and semi-trailers is restricted.

The passage of heavy goods vehicles over 12 tons through the "Pechinsko", "Rozhen", "Prevala" and "Troyanski" passes is restricted.

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 winter maintenance of the republican network from the API website - HYPERLINK "http://www.api.bg" \t "_blank" www.api.bg, as well as at any time of the day on tel. 0700 130 20 in 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.
