When google it's not up to date then you use another map service - simple as that

[bgplayer19]

it was worth waiting, they have updated absolutely everything, including some national parks which are completely unfamiliar.

[Chilio]

Also map is turned at 90 degrees (south is to the left) but the pictures of the interchanges are in the correct direction (south is down).

Trakia motorway[A1] is visible now on Google Earth as well

Some retro photos of the construction of the hardest and highest part of Hemus motorway between 1978-84 including the Bebresh viaduct(still the highest bridge structure on teh Balkans):

just a note that ...
with 120 m height Bebresh Viaduct is most likely highest at Balkan Mountain


however, at Balkan peninsula there are:
170 m Đurđevića Tara Bridge
200 m Mala Rijeka Viaduct
(both in Montenegro)

(both in Montenegro)

Đurđevića Tara Bridge:
Longest span 116 m
Clearance below 170 m

The longest pair of spans of Bebresh are 120 and 126 m. each.

Let's name it the heighest road(or motorway) bridge on the Balkans ,
since wikipedia says that one of the 4 spans the other railway bridge you mentined above -
Mala Rijeka has is 150.8 m long, which is more than the longest span of Bebresh.

A bridge span is a distance between support columns. At bridges span is measured horizontally. It is related to the length of the bridges.

Bebresh Viaduct is 720 m long and has 12 spans, 60 m each.

[Turnovec]

OK I understand. Lost in translation...

So the highest pair of support columns of Bebresh are 120 and 126 m. each.
Is it clear now?
I don't know if it's the highest road viaduct on the peninsula right now, just mentioned it, as it says so in the web pages about it.
Didn't mean to turn this in to dick measering. If not the tallest it's still a very impressive structure.

[syst3m]

great photos. It is still impressive now and at that time must have been huge thing One question: the viaducts needеd urgent repairs and parliament voted money for this. Have those repairs started yet or not ?

When talking about motorway bridges in the Balkans we must add also
Nurdagi or Ataturk viaduct 146m clearance (although in Asia Minor)
Rio-Antirio cable-stayed bridge 164m of higest pillar

And after the archive photos from Hemus highway, here you are some photos of the last section under construction of Trakia highway (Yambol - Karnobat) made last days by our fellow forumer Galin_Gradev. The progress is good since last update in September. The section should be opened in May 2013.

Near Yambol east interchange:

Напредъкът е видим и съществен и независимо от мудния темп на работа, участъка ще стане до 30.05. Снимките( около 260) са от целия лот, а като начало започваме от ПВ Ямбол изток:
