Regional Development Minister: Road maintenance companies are ready for the winter season

The road maintenance companies are ready for the winter season and all contracts with the state have already been signed, caretaker Minister of Regional Development, arch. Ivan Shishkov said on November 28.

He does not expect any serious problems with snow on the roads in the coming days, despite the code yellow alert for snowfall announced for today in 8 districts in the country.

"Only traffic through Troyan-Karnare pass has been temporarily stopped for lorries because of snow. Generally, there is no problem at this time, given the little amount of snow, we do not expect any problem. The contracts are concluded, there are no problems in this respect. The funding for winter road maintenance are linked to the weather conditions - that is, the harsher the winter, the more expensive the roads cleaning will be. It is linked to the actual amount of work done," the minister said.
