A national Strategic Infrastructure Projects company to be established

The approved amendments to the Road Traffic Act stipulate the establishment of a national Strategic Infrastructure Projects (SIP) company. The new company will deal with the design, construction, maintenance and repair of the Struma, Hemus and Cherno More highways. The company will work on the construction of the three highways and will manage their maintenance after their launching. Apart from the Minister of Regional Development, who is the company’s principal, the SIP will be supervised by a Management Board and run by an Executive Director. Minister of Regional Development and Public Works, Rosen Plevneliev, said for Klassa that Nikolina Nikolova, who was a member of the Management Board of the Road Infrastructure Agency, was likely to assume the post of the Executive Director.

The changes stipulate that the vignette stickers will become securities- not as up to now just "a document certifying the right of use of national roads." The fines for drivers who travel with irregular stickers are planned to be increased. The amendments to the respective ordinance provide for a mandatory auditing of road safety, its impact assessment, and periodic inspections.
