Restraint systems manufactured by KMV Road Safety Systems Ltd. have been installed on the newly opened 9.3-kilometer section of the Hemus Motorway.
In the newly opened section, 17,800 meters of double-wave steel guardrails (H1 and N2 systems) have been installed, along with 8,000 meters of double-sided H2W4 3N barriers and 2,800 meters of single-sided H2W4 3N barriers. To ensure the safety of travelers, an H4bW4 system—unique within the country—has been installed, spanning a total length of 460 meters. The start of this high-containment barrier system is secured with energy-absorbing crash terminals. The bridge structure at the beginning of the section is protected by a 100-meter triple-wave H2W4 system, supplemented by a safety mesh. To facilitate rapid traffic diversion between lanes in the event of an accident, four removable barrier sections with a total length of 176 meters have been installed. These removable systems are of the H2W4 type, for which “KMV-Road Safety Systems” Ltd. holds the exclusive manufacturing certificate.
