50 EUROPEAN COMPANIES SEEK TO BUILD BULGARIA TRAKIYA HIGHWAY

Over 50 companies from all over Europe have purchased public tender documents for the construction of the Trakya highway.

This was announced Thursday by the Minister of Regional Development and Public Works, Rosen Plevneliev, who says the reason for the new and huge interest is the transparency in the absorption of EU funds in Bulgaria, established by his ruling Citizens of European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party.

The public tender is to select a contractor to build Segment 2 of the highway.

The construction must begin in May 2010 while the contractor is to build 31,8 km between the city of Stara Zagora and the town of Nova Zagora.

The construction of the Trakya highway was halted several times already over violations in the public tenders.
