The renovations in Sofia sparked a wave of furious reactions. The melted asphalt adhered to the tires of dozens of cars in the Suhata Reka neighborhood. Public transportation even had to stop due to the liquid streets in the neighborhood. The problem is in the softened bitumen. It is used to fill the joints in the fall. Due to the high temperatures, however, it melted.

“In October and November, the joints were filled here. This manipulation is done every season before winter. The goal is to eliminate the possibility of water invading the cracks and forming large holes,” said Todor Vassilev, a representative of the contractor.

According to him, this is a procedure that is a practice for all of Sofia. “We are responsible for the area that includes the Poduyane, Oborishte and Kremikovtzi districts,” he said.

“What we found yesterday was that the repairs, which were carried out over 8 months ago, were carried out at night so as not to obstruct traffic. It is possible to put more material and due to the colder weather it may have hardened before it was apply the stone flour, “added Vassilev.

According to him, the procedure, as steps, is followed completely. “All the necessary materials have been installed,” he said.
