Although the highway management agency dispatched more than 200 special vehicles to clean up the snow, some sections of the road had to be temporarily closed because tall trees fell overwhelmed.
The previous day, in addition to issuing an orange warning for the above three areas, the Bulgarian meteorological department issued a yellow warning to 24 other areas.
