Safe and Secure Smart Mobility Parking Network Bulgaria 2.0

Active project

About the project The project Safe and Secure Smart Mobility Parking Network Bulgaria 2.0 (24-BG-TC-SSSMTPNBULGARIA 2) aims to develop six Safe and Secure Parking Areas (SSPAs).   The project includes both the construction of entirely new facilities (greenfield) and the expansion of existing ones (brownfield). The parking areas will be located along key sections of the core network of the TEN-T Baltic Sea – Black Sea – Aegean Sea (BBA) corridor, thereby improving the efficiency, safety, and security of the European transport network and international traffic. The total capacity of the parking areas will be 816 parking spaces for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), contributing to a safer, more modern, and more efficient transport infrastructure. SSPA locations and capacity   Vidin – 300 parking spaces, Platinum level Ihtiman – 150 parking spaces, Platinum level (new construction) Nova Zagora – 95 parking spaces, Gold level Struma, Phase II – 41 parking spaces, Platinum level (new construction) Plovdiv – 110 parking spaces, Gold level Chirpan – 120 parking spaces, Gold level The new facilities will support the development of a strong trans-European transport network along the Western Balkans – Eastern Mediterranean (WBEM TEN-T) and Baltic Sea – Black Sea – Aegean Sea corridors. These will be the first facilities of this kind in Bulgaria to be certified at Platinum and Gold levels in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1012, guaranteeing high standards of safety, security, and services for professional drivers.
