Inside Bulgaria's Easter Celebrations: Traditions Passed Through Generations
Today marks the joyous celebration of Easter, one of the most significant holidays in the Orthodox Christian calendar.
Repair works began on Monday on two Bulgarian motorways – Hemus and Trakia and the largest boulevard in Sofia – Tsarigradsko Shose.
The repair works of the Tsarigradsko Shose began in the section between Sofia Ring Road and the crossover above Aleksandar Malinov Boulevard, daily Dnevnik reports.
The southern lanes in the section, which were closed first, are expected to be renovated by the middle of June, which will be followed by the closure for repair of the northern lanes.
Later on, the section of Tsarigradsko Shose between Fourth Kilometer and the Yavorov Boulevard will be closed for repair works.
The deadline for the complete overhaul, which includes replacement of the asphalt, hydro-isolation and lighting, is the beginning of September.
The repair works on the local lanes of Tsarigradsko Shose should be completed by the end of September.
The length of the renovated section is 5.8 kilometres and the cost is estimated at slightly below BGN 20 M, including the repair of the bridge facilities.
The Sofia Municipality foresees the renovation of a total of 28 kilometres of pavements and 30 kilometres of roads and boulevards during the year.
Repair work also began on the most worn out sections of the Hemus and Trakia Motorways on Monday.
The Bulgarian government allocated BGN 100 M on the repair of the most worn out sections of the motorways.
Three sections of the Trakia Motorway will be renovated – at the exit of Sofia and near Pazardzhik and Plovdiv.
The repairs works on Hemus Motorway will take place on four sections between Shumen and Varna.
A total of six viaducts will be renovated on the two motorways, private bTV station reports.
