Planned to be designated A7, it will span for approximately 118 kilometres (73 mi), superseding the existing major road 5. Along with the Hemus motorway (A2), the Veliko Tarnovo–Ruse motorway aims to provide motorway connection between Sofia and Bucharest , the capitals of Bulgaria and Romania.
The first 31.5 km of the motorway (Kalotina–Herakovo) were tendered in 2012, [3] and the construction works were expected to begin in 2013. [4] [5] The route in the tendered section follows the existing major road 8/European route E80 road and also is part of Pan-European Corridor X, branch C.
In 2004, when the first stage of Rijeka–Zagreb motorway was completed, [34] [35] the A7 route was extended by 3.7 kilometres (2.3 mi) to Jurdani, and in 2005, another 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) section was completed between Jurdani and the Slovenian border. The two new sections were the first ones built as a six-lane motorway.
However, in 2018, the government decided to merge Lyulin motorway into Struma motorway as both are forming an interrupted route from Sofia to Greece. After 40 years of construction, the first large motorway, spanning 360 km, Trakia (A1) was inaugurated on 15 July 2013, thus connecting the capital Sofia and Burgas, at the Black Sea coast. [8]
The Pravets–Yablanitsa section of the Hemus motorway was officially opened on 5 December 1999. Due to the mountainous terrain through the Balkans, the 5.47 km section together with another 16 km reconstructed, features two viaducts and one tunnel (Praveshki hanove), while the whole Sofia–Yablanitsa section has three more tunnels.
Estimated to be 51 km (32 mi) long, it will upon completion connect the capital city of Bucharest to Giurgiu, where the motorway will likely connect to Bulgaria's Veliko Tarnovo–Ruse motorway (A7), which further connects to the Hemus motorway (A2), thus serving as a motorway connection between Bucharest and Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria.
