Skopje, 31 July 2022 (MIA) – Dry road conditions are reported across the country, with increased traffic outside urban areas. Entry wait time at Tabanovce border crossing is about an hour, the same as the exit wait time at Bogorodica crossing, and about 30 minutes at the Dojran crossing. A ban for heavy cargo vehicles over 7.5 tons on the weekends enters into force as of July 1 through Sept. 1 on the A2 highway, section Skopje-Ohrid-Skopje.

Vehicles transporting livestock, flowers, humanitarian aid, wheat and perishable goods are exempted. The R1202 regional route between Mavrovi Anovi and Zhirovnica is completely closed for repairs every day from 10 am to 4 pm until the end of July.
