These days, traffic on both roads has been restored along the Jūrmala highway, where extensive repair works are continuing, the Latvian State Roads (LVC) informed LETA.
The progress of construction works on the Jūrmala highway has allowed to remove a significant part of the traffic restrictions, and traffic has been restored along both highway carriageways. In the direction of Jūrmala, there is one widened lane with a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour (km / h). In the direction of Riga, traffic is organized in three lanes with a speed limit of 70 km / h. Temporary local traffic restrictions are possible on this highway.
Construction work on the national road network is currently taking place on more than 60 road sections. There are three traffic light sections and two others with priority road signs on the Saulkrasti bypass on the Tallinn highway. Until the weekend in the direction of Riga, the exit to the road Saulkrasti-Sēja-Ragana and also the exit from this road in the direction of Rīga will be closed to traffic. The stage can take up to an hour.
On the Jelgava highway in the section from Jaunolaine to the bridge over the Missis, traffic is organized along the Jelgava carriageway in one lane in each direction. The repair phase requires half an hour or even more on the way.
On regional roads, the most traffic light sections – seven – are on the road Pūri-Auce-Grīvaiši, while the longest repair section is from Ventspils in the direction of Kuldīga with five traffic light sections. It may take an hour for both to leave.
These days it is planned to start repair works on several regional highways: on the highway Madona-Varakļāni in the section from Madona to the bridge over Kuja, in two sections on the highway Valka-Vireši – from Gaujiena to Vidzeme highway and from the intersection with the highway Smiltene-Valka Gaujiena, on the highway Ķekava-Skaistkalne in Baldone region, on the road Jelgava-Tukums in the section from Slampe to Liepāja highway, as well as on the road Tukums-Auce in the section from Vaski to the turn to Tumi.
