Repairs are currently affecting major roadways, including the Rimkų overpass, which has been repaired and will remain closed until the end of the month. Furthermore, the state-owned Vilnius highway section is undergoing surface repair and maintenance, while Via Lietuva is also engaged in necessary upkeep and repair work on the highway. These extensive roadworks have resulted in significant traffic congestion, notably causing large traffic jams on June 8 and 9 within the city.
Regarding the disruptions, A. Vaitkus says that the issue of heavy traffic is acknowledged and is actively being resolved. He advises travelers to anticipate difficulties when heading to Klaipėda that morning, describing the process of entering the city as challenging.
Vaitkus confirmed that the problems experienced yesterday and this morning concerning traffic in the Klaipėda access area are known, and efforts are underway to mitigate the situation. He stated that contact has been maintained with Via Lietuva since the previous evening to help alleviate the traffic flow. He added that updates regarding the agreed-upon solutions will be communicated to the public as soon as they are finalized.
The ongoing maintenance efforts, while necessary, continue to impact daily commuting and travel patterns across the region.
