Motorway linking Promachonas border with Bulgaria closed

The motorway connecting Promachonas (on the border with Bulgaria) and Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, remained closed on Monday due to heavy rainfall that resulted in the overflow of the Strymonas river.

Traffic is being diverted.

According to Macedonia General Police, the motorway has been closed near the Bulgarian town of Kresna.

Authorities recommend that drivers use the Exochi border crossing as an alternative exit from the country. Traffic has also been diverted at Vyronia- Megalochori bridge due to the Strymonas river’s high levels of water
