Construction of a section of the Hemus motorway to be launched with BGN 38 mln

The completion of the Hemus motorway began with a symbolic first sod of the section from the town of Shumen to the village of Belokopitovo. The project is worth BGN 37.9 mln, to be extended by the national budget. The start of the project was given yesterday by PM Boyko Borissov, Minister of Regional Development and Public Works Rossen Plevneliev and Deputy PM and Finance Minister Simeon Djankov. The building contractor is the Shumen-based company Black Sea Motorways which should construct a 7.8-km-long section within 18 months. The construction of two fly-overs, an underpass and six small road facilities is projected. Two road junctions are to be built as well: one to the village of Panayot Volov, connecting the road to Silistra as well, and another one - near the village of Belokopitovo, connecting the road from the town of Targovishte and that from the town of Razgrad.

At the end of August or the beginning of September, construction of the section near the Yana railway station should be launched. It will link the Sofia Ring Road and the Hemus motorway. This part of the project will be financed by the State again. A contract for its implementation has not been signed yet but the lowest price offer submitted so far is BGN 32 mln. Another 267 km should be built in order to complete the motorway. According to preliminary estimates, its construction will cost €1.5 bn, to be allocated under Operational Programme Transport in the 2014-2020 period. The deadline for the completion of the Hemus motorway is 2015.
