Veliko Tarnovo news- Revitalizing Town’s Infrastructure

Renewed infrastructure improves the quality of life in the northeastern neighborhoods of the town

The recent renovation efforts in Veliko Tarnovo have sparked significant changes in the north-eastern part of the city. Neighborhoods such as “Asenov,” “Sveta Gora,” and areas around VTU “St. St. Cyril and Methodius” are experiencing enhanced quality of life. This transformation stems from a well-planned investment utilizing various financial mechanisms. The project includes constructing new bridge facilities over the Yantra River, rehabilitating over 8 kilometers of streets and sidewalks, and installing modern lighting. Additionally, new safety features, such as horizontal and vertical markings, have been implemented. As local Veliko Tarnovo news highlights, these improvements are pivotal in enhancing everyday living conditions.

A tunnel under Shipka Peak will connect southern and northern Bulgaria

After many years of discussion, a contract was finally signed for the construction of a tunnel under Shipka Peak. The idea of a direct connection between North and South Bulgaria dates back 125 years. It is expected that this will increase traffic safety and facilitate the passage of drivers on both sides of Stara Planina mountain throughout the year. This project will also have a positive impact on tourism, as well as the economic and social development of the region. According to the Road Infrastructure Agency, with the construction of the tunnel, heavy goods traffic should increase by more than 90 percent, and light traffic – by more than 50 percent. Calculations show that traffic through the tunnel will be twice as high and will increase to more than 10,000 vehicles per day. The facility should be completed in 3.5 years.
