Bulgaria sets financing for Hemus Motorway section

Bulgaria has earmarked €690 million to build a 134km section of the Hemus motorway between Boaza and the I-5 Ruse-Veliko Tarnovo road in the north. Around 170km have been built of the 420km Hemus Motorway, designated the A2. The motorway is divided into two sections with the first one running from the capital Sofia to Yablanitsa, crossing Stara planina - Balkan mountains. The second segment connects Varna, on the Black Sea coast, and Shumen, an inland city of around 80,000.
