The Trakiya motorway (автомагистрала „Тракия“) or Thrace motorway, designated A1, is a motorway currently in construction in Bulgaria. It is planned to connect the capital of Sofia with Burgas on the Black Sea through Plovdiv. The motorway is named after the historical region of Thrace, the northern (Bulgarian) part of which it runs through. The Trakiya motorway's projected length is 368 km (or 443 km depending on whether certain segments are included), of which 182 km are currently in operation as of 2006 — linking Orizovo and Stara Zagora to Sofia, as well as Karnobat to Burgas.
The construction and future concession of the motorway has been the subject of much controversy in 2005 and 2006, as a contract with a Portuguese company was cancelled.
