II-55 road (Bulgaria)

The II-55 road is a secondary road in Bulgaria. It connects the cities of Veliko Tarnovo and Elena with the Republic Road I-5 at the village of Debelec, and then continues through the Tvarditsa Pass to the city of Nova Zagora.

The road plays a significant role in connecting northern Bulgaria with the south-central region of the country, facilitating traffic between major cities and smaller towns. It provides access to the Balkan Mountains, especially the Elena Balkan area, making it important for tourism and local transport. The II-55 traverses a mountainous and hilly terrain, offering scenic views along its route, but also presenting challenges for driving, especially during winter conditions. Its maintenance is important for ensuring smooth traffic flow and safety.
