The Romanian Road Authority has informed the Bulgarian Road Infrastructure Agency that, as from 15 May 2015 until the end of  2015, rehabilitation and maintenance works will be carried out on the Romanian National Road DN5 at km 64+884.

This includes the access road from the Customs area (exit) until the Giurgiu Bridge entering zone and the bridge itself.
