Work on two key highway sections now looks set to move forward. One contract is for the construction of a 34km section of the Maritsa highway. This has been awarded to a consortium comprising Austrian firm Porr Technobau und Umwelt and Bulgarian company Patnostroitelna Tehnika. This consortium won the bidding process in the face of strong competition with a package worth €62.4 million. Meanwhile the tender process for a 17km section of Bulgaria's Struma highway has attracted 19 bidders. The road will connect Dupnitsa with Dolna Dikanya.
