A new highway will connect Bulgaria's southern towns of Gotse Delchev and Kurdzhali. May by intersport-travel.com
The construction of a new highway in the Rhodope Mountains located in Bulgaria's southernmost districts is going to start within months.
The news was announced Monday by the Deputy Minister of Regional Development and Public Works Dimcho Mihalevski before the Bulgarian Information Agency BTA reported.
The new highway will start from the southwest town of Gotse Delchev, and will end at the southeast city of Kurdzhali, going through the towns of Dospat, Borino, Devin, Smolyan, and Madan.
This will shorten the route between the western and the eastern part of the Rhodope Mountains, which currently goes around the mountain.
Mihalevski announced the construction of the highway was expected to start in January 2009, and that the government was presently negotiating with potential Greek partners, who were to provide EUR 30 M of funding.
The Bulgarian government was going to provide EUR 50 M of funding under the Regional Development operative program.
Meanwhile, the second phase of the construction of the international road Kurdzhali - Makaza - Komotini (Greece) was expected to take place, according to Mihalevsky.
