Byala (Bulgarian: Бяла) is a town in northern Bulgaria. It is located in the Rousse Province on the crossroad between roads Rousse-Tarnovo and Pleven-Varna. Close to it is the town of Borovo. The noted Belenski most (Byala Bridge) over the Yantra River is located in the vicinity.
A major traffic accident on 7 December 2006 on a different bridge over the river claimed 18 lives, as a truck hit a bus travelling between Byala and its railway station, causing the bus to fall 15 m down from the bridge.[1]
