Truck traffic intensifies at the "Kulata" checkpoint on the border with Greece, limiting passage. Meanwhile, Makaza, Zlatograd, and Ivaylovgrad border crossings are accessible only to cars and vans.
Despite ongoing construction at the "Kalotina" border crossing with Serbia, traffic remains normal. However, travelers should anticipate temporary lane reductions and traffic reorganization due to construction activities.
During the holiday season, travelers using cars should expect potential delays due to temporary traffic management measures in place at various border crossings.
Fortunately, on the border with the Republic of North Macedonia, traffic flows smoothly without any reported disruptions at the checkpoints.
On the Turkey border, truck traffic is notably heavy at the "Capitan Andreevo" checkpoint for outbound travel.
