Rebuilt section of road P126 between Rude and Valdemārpils opens to traffic
In early November, residents drove along the rebuilt P126 road between Rude and Valdemārpils to say thanks. Two years earlier they had protested over its poor condition.
A 17-kilometre section of the P126 road between Rude and Valdemārpils in Latvia has been reopened to traffic after reconstruction. In early November, local residents again gathered for a drive along the road, but this time their aim was to express thanks.
The background
Two years ago, a protest drive took place along the same road, with around 250 cars taking part. Residents drew attention to the road having been in poor condition for years and demanded that it be restored.
What has changed
After the long-awaited reconstruction, the road has finally been handed over for traffic. The residents who once organised the drive as a protest got behind the wheel again, this time to show their gratitude.
The source gives no details on the cost of the reconstruction, the contractors or the specific works carried out, so those questions remain open.
