The Sofia City Hall informs cleaning contractor companies have treated all roads in the capital used by public transportation vehicles.
The Bulgarian capital Sofia awoke Wednesday morning under a blanket of fresh February snow.
Traffic conditions are treacherous and traffic is slow, but public transportation is not experiencing significant delays.
The City Hall reminds homeowners and store managers are responsible for cleaning the snow in front of buildings. The Traffic Police ask all drivers to adhere to speed limits; get on the road only if their automobile is ready for the winter weather, and use extreme caution.
Roads in the country are passable under winter conditions, the Road Infrastructure Agency informs.
Roads are wet and covered with snow; there is ice on higher elevations. The Trakiya and Hemus highways are wet.
The mountain passes Tvarditsa-Elena, Etropole-Zlatitsa, Varbishki and Dyulinski are closed for trucks. Trailers are banned in the passes Troyan-Karnare and Vratnik, and on most roads in the Rhodope Mountains where tire chains are required.
Low visibility due to fog is impeding traffic in the Lovech area and on the Pleven-Lovech road in northern Bulgaria.
