“Upgrading the Road II-86 – Srednogortsi-Rudozem and bypass of Rudozem”, implemented by Road Infrastructure Agency (BG).

 Upgrade and improvement of 9.653 km divided into 3 sections: section 1 from km 125+727.46 to km 126+600 and from km 126+750 to km 129+660 – partial reconstruction of some road sections and construction of a new road; construction of 2 new bridges, reconstruction of 9 old bridges.

 The improvement of traffic conditions and travelers comfort; enhancement of road safety and traffic capacity; removal of the transit traffic to the future Border Crossing Check Point (BCCP) Dimario –Rudozem out of the city center of Rudozem by building a bypass road; reduction of harmful gas emissions.
