Strategic development of the national road network

Abstract

Strategically developed transport infrastructure is a basic prerequisite for efficient, effective, and sustainable transport. The transport infrastructure is essential for economic growth, for the mobility of labor resources, for the supply of transport services and for the competitiveness of the bulgarian economy. A major problem identified in relation to the characteristics and qualities of the infrastructure along the main routes is the lack of continuous, consistent, and permanent transport networks to ensure fast and safe movement over longer distances. The development of the national road network must follow the principles of continuity and synergy with the national and European strategic documents. The main strategic priorities in the development of transport are effective maintenance and modernization of the transport infrastructure, as well as increasing the security and safety of the transport system.
