The lines of tractor trailers at the Danube Bridge, connecting Bulgaria and Romania have disappeared overnight.

The bridge was closed for several days over being blockaded by heavy snow on both sides.

Freight traffic at the Capitan Andreevo and Lesovo cross border points on the Bulgarian-Turkish border is also back to normal, after weekend difficulties, also triggered by the blizzard that gripped Bulgaria last week.

The information was reported Monday by the spokesperson of Bulgaria's Border Police.

Meanwhile, the Serbian border authorities reported that at the Kalotina checkpoint on the Bulgarian-Serbian border there is a 2.5-km-long line of tractor trailers, waiting to enter Bulgaria. There is no line on the Bulgarian side. The traffic there is expected to normalize in the next hours as well.
