High traffic on E-79 main road on the first working day of the new year

A kilometre long line of cars is formed in the afternoon on January 2 on the main E-79 road between Blagoevgrad and Simitli towards Sofia. Traffic police were regulating traffic, and in the evening the situation on the busy section began to get back to normal.

By 6pm on E-79, traffic was normal without traffic jams.

In the early afternoon, however, it was much busier, especially at Simitli junction, where it reached a kilometre-long queue and congestions because of mwrging the two car streams from Kulata border crossing and the winter resorts - Bansko, Razlog and Dobrinishte, towards Sofia.

Traffic police teams remain to regulate traffic in the next hours.
