Bulgaria’s highway Trakiya - to be released on 5 July

The final stretch of Bulgaria's Trakiya Highway, connecting the capital of Sofia with Burgas and the Black Sea through the second-largest city Plovdiv will be completed by the end of June and ready for use by motorists on July 5, 2013.

The Trakiya highway planned length of 360 km is almost constructed.

Executive Director of the Road Infrastructure Agency Lazar Lazarov stated that it is expected the contractor to complete the route in full work by the end of this month. In spite of the rapid pace of work in the past month, no compromise on quality was being allowed.

Lazar Lazarov also said that, "If they are really ready for June 30 as promised, five days are necessary for the Commission to adopt the object. I expect by July 5 "Trakiya" to be released.
