Oversize transport Bulgaria – Romania
Bulgaria is our southern neighbour and the road to Greece and Turkey. We organise oversize transports between Romania and Bulgaria and transit through Bulgaria, with the Bulgarian permits, the right Danube crossing and the escort required by the dimensions.

Permits in Bulgaria
In Bulgaria, the movement of oversize and heavy vehicles is regulated by Ordinance no. 11 of 2001. The permit for a route crossing more than two regions is issued by the Road Infrastructure Agency (API); for local roads and streets, the local authorities are also involved.
Crossing the Danube
Between Romania and Bulgaria, the Danube is crossed on bridges, at Giurgiu–Ruse and Calafat–Vidin, or by ferry at a few points. For very heavy or very wide transports, the bridges have their own restrictions, and we choose the right option according to weight and dimensions. In Dobrogea there are also land crossings, without the Danube: Negru Vodă–Kardam and Vama Veche–Durankulak.
