Amid heavy snowfalls, Bulgaria’s Road Infrastructure Agency issued a call for motorists to avoid travel in north-western Bulgaria, unless in the event of emergency.

16 Dec 2018 – The road agency also called for caution given the “Code Yellow” warning of potentially dangerous weather because of heavy snowfalls in the regions of Vidin, Montana, Vratsa, Sofia – both the city and the district – Pernik and Kyustendil.

The road agency said that its 27 regional offices and snow-cleaning companies were in 24-hour mode, ready to respond to keep the national road network functioning.

In capital city Sofia, heavy snowfall began at about 10am on December 16 and was forecast to continue throughout the day.
