Highway construction in Bulgaria to begin by the end of January
The construction of Lyulin highway would begin in the end of January 2007, Vesselin Georgiev, head of National Road Infrastructure Fund, said.
The highway to be constructed would be nearly 19 km long and would connect Sofia's ring-road and European corridors IV and VIII, Bulgarian news agency BTA said.
Studies on the environmental impact of Strouma highway, which would connect Lyulin highway to Koulata border checkpoint, would be ready within two months, BTA said. The construction would begin by the end of 2007.
Studies on the environmental impact of Cherno More highway, connecting the coastal cities of Varna and Bourgas, and the unfinished part of Hemus highway were also being prepared, BTA said.
Georgiev also commented on another highway project. Negotiations on Trakia highway and the responsibilities of the state in the project are still negotiated.
Bulgaria should not be obliged to pay the concessionaire compensation in case of insufficient Trakia highway traffic, said Georgiev.
The highway concessionaire, a consortium of Portuguese and Bulgarian companies, wanted Bulgaria to guarantee minimal traffic.
According to Georgiev the best guarantee for profitability of the highway was the traffic increase through the other 200 km of the highway already constructed.
