The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Simeon Djankov will inspect today the process of the overall rehabilitation of Kapitan Andreevo border check-point and the construction works of a 3.4 km access road to the border check-point which is part of Maritsa motorway. The Ministry of Finance is the Contracting Authority under the Second Trade and Transport Facilitation Project (TTFSE II) which is funded by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and co-financed by the state budget.

Rehabilitation takes places in two stages taking account of traffic seasonality in the conditions of ceaseless operation of the border check-point. After finishing the works, the border check-point along with the connection to Maritsa motorway will ensure better working conditions, facilitated crossing of both commercial and private traffic and a better traffic capacity. During his inspection Minister Djankov will also visit the Turkish part of the border check-point.
