The total length of the road is 203 km (126 mi). In half of its length, between Shumen and Varna, I-2 road is superseded by Hemus motorway (A2).
Description
Road I-2 begins from Danube Bridge, at the Danube border with Romania. The road bypasses Ruse, the fifth largest city in Bulgaria, and then runs southeast. It crosses the small town of Tsar Kaloyan, bypasses Razgrad and continues towards Shumen, the 10th largest city in Bulgaria. In 2012, road I-2 between Ruse and Shumen was expanded up to 3-lane single carriageway.[1] At Belokopitovo interchange, road I-2 shall link with the Hemus motorway (A2).[2] Between Shumen and the Black sea coast at Varna, the second largest city in Bulgaria, the road runs parallel to Hemus motorway as a 2-lane single carriageway.
