Reconstruction of Jelgava's Lietuvas Road Railway Overpass Begins, Traffic Restrictions Expected
Work to renovate the Lietuvas šoseja overpass above the railway in Jelgava, Latvia, starts on 13 October. Two of the four traffic lanes will be closed between the Pasta iela roundabout and Savienības iela.
In Jelgava, one of Latvia's major cities, renovation of the Lietuvas šoseja (Lithuania Highway) overpass above the railway will begin on Tuesday, 13 October, the city municipality has announced.
While the work is under way, two of the four traffic lanes will be closed to vehicles. The restrictions will apply to the stretch from the Pasta iela roundabout to Savienības iela. Drivers who use the overpass should therefore expect narrower road space.
What is known about the restrictions
According to the municipality, the overpass will be renovated, and the works will affect the section connecting the Pasta iela roundabout with Savienības iela. Both of these points mark the limits of the restrictions.
The municipality's announcement says road users need to take the changed traffic arrangements at this location into account. Other details, such as how long the works will last or how much they will cost, were not given in the source.
The overpass carries road traffic across the railway line, so the works will take place where the road crosses the tracks. Motorists who normally use this section may wish to plan their routes in advance and allow extra time for their journeys.
