Construction of the third phase of the Vilnius western bypass may be finished this year, according to a report by Baltic News Network.
Remigijus Simasius, mayor of the Lithuanian capital, the said work was ahead of the schedule for opening in the first quarter next year.
The section, worth €105 million, will connect the highways of Vilnius–Kaunas–Klaipeda and Vilnius–Panevezys.
Aldas Rusevičius, chief executive of Kauno Tiltai - Kaunas Bridges – the general contractor of the third phase, said that more than half of the project is completed. “Overall, approximately 55% of bypass construction works have been carried out through the combined efforts of all builders. We hope that our commitment to open the road to traffic as early as this year will be implemented,” he told the reporters.
