Bulgaria has started work on a 12.6km section of ''Struma'' motorway between the southwestern towns of Blagoevgrad and Krupnik.
A consortium led by Bulgarian construction company Agromah is building the section under a contract worth just over 71 million euro, according to the regional development ministry.
Work is scheduled to end in August 2019.
The 156km ''Struma'' Highway runs from the capital Sofia to the border with Greece. Around 87 km of the highway has been completed and in use. However, some sections of the route pass through difficult terrain and work has involved construction of viaducts and the tunnel sections.
