Cherno More Motorway

The Cherno More motorway or the Black Sea motorway is a Bulgarian motorway planned to link the major coastal cities of Varna and Burgas, passing along the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. It is part of the Pan-European Corridor VIII and is estimated to be 103 km long when finished. As of 2016, 10 km of the motorway are completed, from the Asparuhov bridge in Varna to the village of Priseltsi.The Cherno More motorway is expected to considerably shorten the journey between the two cities, since the traffic is slowed down significantly by the narrow passage of the Balkan Mountains between Nesebar and Obzor, especially during the summer season.
