Modern Traffic Management System Implemented on Bulgarian Bridge
A new adaptive traffic light system will now regulate traffic flow on a bridge in Bulgaria. This system can be moved and placed in the specific section of the bridge that is under repair. The bridge, located on Bulgarian territory, has a total length of just over a kilometer. Since its commissioning 70 years ago in 1954, no major repairs have been carried out. Repairs were last made over 22 years ago to reinforce the joints, and in 2011 the waterproofing and asphalt pavement were replaced, according to the Road Infrastructure Agency.
The technical project for the repair of the structure includes a comprehensive overhaul

Asphalt layers, panels, waterproofing, new barrier systems, marking, and more were all part of the renovation process for the infrastructure. Before the main renovation of the facility began, numerous emergency repairs were carried out.
