Skopje,12 August 2025 (MIA) - Dry roads are reported nationwide, with increased traffic outside urban areas. Due to the summer holidays, traffic is increased at Bogorodica, Dojran and Tabanovce border crossings, with an average waiting time of around 30 minutes. No delays are reported at other border crossings.

Due to construction works on the “Gradsko – Drenovo Interchange” road section, part of Corridor 10d, a temporary change in traffic regime will be introduced on the A1 Expressway, Gradsko – Drenovo section. According to the Auto-Moto Association of Macedonia (AMSM), the changes will be in effect from August 4 to September 16, 2025, and traffic will be redirected and regulated with proper traffic signage.

As of July 1, heavy vehicles exceeding 15 tons are subject to restrictions on all state roads during weekends and extremely hot days through August 31 to mitigate summer traffic congestion. 

In addition, a ban on heavy vehicles exceeding 7.5 tons is in place during weekends and holidays on the A2 highway section between Skopje and Ohrid through September 1. 

Landslides are possible along the routes of Katlanovo – Veles, Mavrovo – Debar – Struga, Vinica – Berovo and Kochani – Delchevo.
