# Kalotina and Kapitan Andreevo busy, Danube ferries halted

10.08.2026 07:53    BurgasMedia

Bulgaria's Border Police reported heavy traffic at two crossings as of 06:00 on 10 August 2026. Drivers of passenger cars should build extra time into their schedule.

##### Where the pressure is:

###### 🇷🇸 Serbian border:

- Kalotina: busy inbound flow into Bulgaria for cars.

###### 🇹🇷 Turkish border:

- Kapitan Andreevo: intensive movement in both directions for passenger vehicles.

##### Danube ferries out of service:

Low water levels on the Danube have taken two ferry links to Romania out of operation. Do not plan a route through them today.

- Oryahovo – Bechet: suspended since 10 July.
- Svishtov – Zimnicea: suspended since 21 July.

The practical alternative towards Romania is the Ruse – Giurgiu road bridge, though it absorbs the diverted traffic and queues there run longer than usual.

###### 🇬🇷 Greek border:

- Crossings operating normally.
- Rudozem, Zlatograd, Makaza and Ivaylovgrad accept only cars and minibuses up to 3.5 tonnes.
- Trucks and buses are routed via Kulata, Ilinden and Kapitan Petko Voyvoda.

###### 🇲🇰 North Macedonian border:

- Normal traffic at every checkpoint.

##### Advice for travellers:

Conditions shift through the day, so check live data shortly before departure and keep documents ready to hand.
