In a significant stride towards enhancing transportation infrastructure and bolstering rural connectivity, the long-awaited renovation of the third-class road III-907 Bosna – Vizica has commenced in Malko Tarnovo municipality, Burgas region.
The 24.6-kilometre route stands as the lifeline for the village of Vizitsa, serving as its sole road connection.
The commencement of this comprehensive reconstruction endeavour marks a pivotal moment for the region, promising to rectify the deteriorating road conditions that have plagued commuters with numerous cracks and deformations, compromising traffic safety and drainage.
Deputy Minister of Regional Development and Public Works Nikolay Naydenov emphasized the significance of this initiative, underscoring the commitment to improving infrastructure across various municipalities, regardless of their size.
“This repair was long overdue and is a testament to our dedication towards fostering robust road networks throughout the region. Despite the challenges, we are thrilled to kickstart this essential renovation, which signifies the beginning of a broader effort to enhance connectivity,” stated Deputy Minister Naydenov during the groundbreaking ceremony.
Attended by key stakeholders, including the mayor of Malko Tarnovo municipality, Iliyan Yanchev, regional governor Plamen Yanev, director of the Regional Road Administration Eng. Mitko Poryazov and representatives of the executing company, the event symbolized a collaborative effort towards fostering development and progress.
Expressing gratitude towards the Ministry of Regional Development, Mayor Iliyan Yanchev hailed the impending transformation as a catalyst for promoting tourism and economic growth within the region.
“The revitalization of this crucial road, coupled with future projects like the Burgas – Tsarevo and Tsarevo – Malko Tarnovo routes, sets the stage for unleashing the untapped potential of Strandzha Mountain and fostering a thriving tourism industry,” Mayor Yanchev remarked.
The ambitious project, slated for completion within 450 calendar days, encompasses a comprehensive overhaul of the road structure, including the replacement of the existing asphalt surface, installation of new curbs and Italian gutters, and the implementation of enhanced road markings and signalling systems to bolster traffic safety.
Highlighting the significance of this endeavour, Eng. Mitko Poryazov, director of the Regional Road Administration, emphasized the meticulous planning and execution strategies employed to minimize disruptions to traffic flow.
“Our phased approach ensures that the road remains accessible throughout the construction period, with motor vehicles directed to navigate through a single lane, facilitated by adequate signalling and guidance,” assured Eng. Poryazov.
The magnitude of this renovation project is reflected in its substantial budget allocation of BGN 45,679,984.58, sourced from the republican budget.
The procurement process, conducted in adherence to the Public Procurement Act, resulted in the selection of DZZD “Strandja 2022” as the executing company, in collaboration with “PST Group” EAD and “ORS-Infrastructure” OOD.
Furthermore, construction supervision will be carried out by “Rutex” OOD, ensuring adherence to quality standards and timelines.
As the wheels of progress set in motion, anticipation brews within the community, heralding a new era of improved connectivity and economic prosperity.
With stakeholders united in their commitment to realizing this vision, the road ahead promises to be paved with opportunities for growth and development in Malko Tarnovo municipality and beyond.
In the coming months, as construction progresses and milestones are achieved, the transformation of the Bosna – Vizica road will stand as a testament to the power of collaborative efforts in shaping a brighter future for all.
