Bulgaria's Road Infrastructure Agency has announced that environmental activists have withdrawn their complaints and terminated the cases related to the construction of the last unfinished section of the Struma Highway through the Kresna Gorge. Given the importance of completing the highway and the significance of the gorge for the protection of European wild flora, fauna and natural habitats with exceptional biodiversity, environmental organizations and the Bulgarian government have reached an agreement on the implementation of the Struma Highway outside the Kresna Gorge.

It is also planned to preserve the E79, which now passes through there, but as a local road and this will remove the intensive traffic from the protected area.

An external contractor will be selected for the construction of the highway, which will find the most suitable route outside the gorge. Currently, work is underway to bypass the town of Kresna, and its construction should begin by September.
