Skopje, 7 August 2025 (MIA) - Dry roads are reported nationwide, with increased traffic outside urban areas. Due to the summer holidays, traffic is increased, with no delays at border crossings for entering or leaving the country.

The Auto-Moto Association of Macedonia (AMSM) said that starting at 6:30 am, freight vehicles are being rerouted at the Blace border crossing near the 'Dizel' fuel station.

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.
