As of Friday, the main street “Vasil Levski” in Veliko Tarnovo will be closed for a month, which will require a reorganization of the traffic in the city. The closure of the street is necessary due to the forthcoming excavation of this section in order to replace part of the collector pipe. This will significantly improve the drainage and will end the flooding of sidewalks, offices and shops during heavy rains.
Local Roads
In the afternoon of November 11, the traffic on the repaired nearly 22 km from the Pass of the Republic – road II-55, in the section Kilifarevo – Predela is restored. With the completion of the construction works the traffic safety during the forthcoming winter season should be highly increased.
Hainboaz is an extremely tense road artery in our country, with between 8,000 and 12,000 vehicles pass daily through it. The route is the main road connection for the intensive heavy traffic between Northern and Southern Bulgaria, as well as for the passengers from the Danube Bridge 1 border crossing through Stara Planina to the Kapitan Andreevo and Makaza border checkpoint. The condition of the pass on the territory of Veliko Tarnovo region was highly compromised. There were broken safety nets and guardrails, the slopes needed to be torn down and stabilized.
The long-awaited renovation of Bulgaria Blvd. in Veliko Tarnovo starts today
From today – November 5, the implementation of the project for replacement of the water supply network under Bulgaria Blvd. and partially – under Bacho Kiro St. and Tsar Samuil St. (next to the intersection with Tsar Todor Svetoslav St.) begins. The first stage of the renovation starts from Tsar Samuil Street, which will be excavated to replace the water supply and sewerage collector and will last two weeks. The residents in the area have already been warned to move their cars so that the contractor company can start the repair. The temporary organization of the traffic is prepared and will be directed through the nearby Tsar Ivan Alexander str., next to the polyclinic.
Gradually, the excavation works will be moved in the direction of the court and along the boulevard, and due to the huge four-meter trenches the traffic will be closed and redirected in parts.
