Construction Permit Signed for Section 6 of Hemus Motorway

Minister of Regional Development and Public Works Nikolay Naydenov signed a building permit for section 6 of Hemus Motorway, the ministry said.

It is nearly 32 kilometres long - from the end of the road junction on road III-303 Pavlikeni - Levski to road I-5 Ruse - Veliko Tarnovo, including the road junction at the village of Kutsina.

Construction is currently under way on Sections 2, 3 and 4 of the Hemus Motorway.

For Section 5, which spans 23 kilometres from the end of the Letnitsa interchange (where it crosses Road III-301) to Road III-303, including a road junction, documentation is currently being prepared. Once completed, work on the site can begin.

For Sections 7 and 8, coordination procedures are under way under the Spatial Planning Act, along with technical planning procedures.

In February this year, a construction permit was also issued for Section 9, an 11-kilometre stretch running from kilometre 299, after the Loznitsa interchange (crossing with Road II-49 under the conceptual design), to kilometre 310, marking the beginning of a section already under construction, including the Buhovtsi-South interchange.

All sections of the Hemus Motorway, with the exception of Sections 7 and 8, have approved designs and secured site access.
