A protest of road construction and road maintenance companies is being held in various places in the country due to the suspended payments by the state to them. In Varna, the protesters stopped the traffic on the Asparuhov Bridge, BNR correspondent Daniela Stoynova reported.

The Pernik-Sofia road at the crossroads in the village of Dragichevo will be blocked for an hour. The companies protesting there are dissatisfied, as the suspended payments stop the work on the already assigned projects and delay the preparation for the snow removal.
