Sources: 9. Developments: 2. The Road Infrastructure Agency (API) has undergone significant organizational and technological shifts. The agency announced a reform plan involving the dismissal of 420 toll management staff, part of a larger reduction of 505 positions. This restructuring includes transferring certain functions to other structures, potentially including a new executive agency under the Ministry of Transport. Displaced workers may apply for positions within the Ministry of Interior, the Customs Agency, or the National Revenue Agency, provided they meet legal requirements. The announcement triggered protests in Sofia, with labor unions expressing concerns over transparency and road safety. Concurrently, the API has launched an interactive online platform at traffic.api.bg to provide real-time information on Bulgaria’s republican road network. The system features an interactive map displaying road repairs, traffic restrictions, accidents, and potential hazards, with data updated every 15 minutes. The platform includes average vehicle speeds calculated via API cameras and meteorological data, such as air and pavement temperatures. Users can filter information by vehicle category, distinguishing between light and heavy goods vehicles. Minister of Regional Development and Public Works, Ivan Shishkov, stated that the goal is to provide drivers and transport companies with better predictability to increase road safety and reduce accidents. Integration with navigation services like Waze is in the final stages, as the system is designed to serve as an official information source for existing tools. Additionally, the agency committed to providing updates on repair progress at the Topli Dol tunnel on the Hemus Motorway, noting that heavy goods vehicles exceeding 12 tons face temporary restrictions and diversions via the Petrohan Pass during late October and early November. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-28: Bulgaria Road Infrastructure Agency launches interactive traffic map Bulgaria's Road Infrastructure Agency has launched an interactive map providing real-time updates on road repairs, traffic, and weather to improve driver safety and route planning. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/road-infrastructure-agency-launches-interactive-traffic-map ### 2026-10-22: Road Infrastructure Agency to cut 420 toll management staff Bulgaria's Road Infrastructure Agency will cut 420 toll management staff during a structural reform, prompting worker protests and discussions regarding reassignment to other state agencies. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/road-infrastructure-agency-employees-protest-planned-layoffs --- Cite as: Bulgarian Road Infrastructure Agency developments.
