Branch C (Corridor Xc)

Corridor Xc follows the route Niš - Sofia - Plovdiv - Edirne - Istanbul.

The road in Serbia from Niš to the Bulgarian border nearby Dimitrovgrad is recently upgraded to a motorway standard. The construction works in all sections are completed on November 9, 2019.

In Bulgaria, I-8 road connect Sofia with the Serbian border, but Kalotina motorway is planned to supersede it. Currently the transit traffic has to pass via the Sofia Ring Road, but a new bypass Northern Speed Tangent is under construction since 2015 and is expected to be completed in 2016. Trakia motorway (A1) runs from Sofia to Chirpan, where Maritsa motorway (A4), completed in October 2015, branches off to Turkey.

In Turkey, Otoyol 3 motorway runs from Edirne to Istanbul.
