Bulgaria Introduces New Weight Restrictions on the Petrohan Pass
As of July 4, 2025, a new traffic arrangement for heavy goods vehicles is in effect on the Mezdra–Botevgrad route in Bulgaria.
From this date, the upgraded section of the road between Mezdra and Botevgrad, which runs through the Petrohan Pass, is accessible only to trucks and vehicle combinations with a maximum permissible total weight of under 12 tonnes. Heavier trucks have been redirected to route I‑1, in line with previous commitments made by the Road Infrastructure Agency (API) to residents of the Montana region.
