The “Road Infrastructure” Agency is planning an overhaul of 58 km of the I-8 Sofia – Plovdiv road, in the section between Novi Han and Kostenets (from km 89 to km 147).
The indicative value of the project is BGN 110,753,442 including VAT. The first-class road is the main transport artery for the municipalities of Ihtiman, Kostenets and Dolna Banya.
“The successful implementation of the planned investments will contribute to the improvement of transport connectivity, access to medical services, development of tourism in the region and prevention and management of the risk of floods”, the API states.
The project was presented yesterday during a meeting between experts, citizens and local government representatives. The renovation can be implemented within the framework of the concept of integrated territorial investments “Sofia region – the beating heart of Bulgaria – the rhythm of the future”.
Discussions on the topic were held in the cities of Dolna Banya, Kostenets and Ikhtiman and are organized in connection with the application procedure under the “Regional Development” Program 2021-2027.
Until April 25, all interested parties have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the concept and send their comments or objections. Obtaining broad public support is one of the mandatory conditions for the concept to be approved for funding.
