Road rehabilitation and major overhaul is set to begin ahead of the summer season on highways and major roads leading towards Black Sea resorts, Bulgarian media reported on May 18 2010.

About 50km of the Hemus motorway between Varna and Shoumen are earmarked for renovation this summer. This particular section, according to Dnevnik daily, was said to be "the most decrepit one of all".

The road linking Kaspichan and Nevna along the I7 road will also undergo "major overhaul", the National Road Infrastructure Agency (NRIA) told Bulgarian media.

Additionally, major road sections and interchanges around Kranevo, Varna and Bourgas will also be repaired.

"Reconstruction work will be done with modern methods that will help speed up the process of repair work without causing major obstruction to traffic or severe congestion during the peak months of the summer season," the NRIA statement said.

Repair works will be conducted along the I2 road, linking Bulgaria's riverside town of Rousse in the northeast with Varna, as well as the II73 road linking Shoumen and Karnobat. Finally, the II29 road between Varna and Dobrich, and then from Dobritch to General Toshevo, is also to be repaired, as well as the I9 road between Kavarna and Dourankoulak.

NRIA is yet to disclose the deadlines for the conclusion of repair works.
