Grading work on gravel roads is most efficient when the road surface has optimal moisture – it is sufficiently dry and not too dry.

The construction of gravel roads gets wet due to prolonged precipitation, the road loses its load-bearing capacity, and driving conditions deteriorate accordingly, due to the rapid formation of pits and deposits due to traffic. Improvements to daily maintenance due to wet surfaces and traffic are not long-lasting.

LAU regularly inspects state roads, if non-compliance with the requirements of the road maintenance class is established, as well as the moisture and load-bearing capacity of the pavement is adequate, so that the roads are not damaged by the equipment used in the works, the necessary maintenance work is started. Until then, LAU urges road users to be understanding and to comply with the traffic weight limit signs installed on gravel roads.

The LAU recalls that road maintenance work, including grading work, can be followed online. “Latvian State Roads“(LVC) on the website (www.lvceli.lv), as well as the application” Waze “, where it is also possible to inform about the condition of state roads. .
