The queue of trucks waiting to cross Danube Bridge 2 near Vidin - Kalafat already exceeds 10 kilometers of length, BTA reports. Drivers are forced to wait for 16-18 hours. Crossing the bridge itself takes less than 5 minutes, while checks at the border crossing itself take about 10 minutes. More than 4,000 motor vehicles pass daily in both directions.

 The traffic to Vidin is monitored by "Road Police" patrols, which regulate the flow to organized buffer parking lots. Periodically, trucks are stopped at certain times to wait between Vratsa and Mezdra, as well as in Montana.
