Drivers across Lithuania should prepare for significant traffic disruptions throughout September as extensive road repair works coincide with the traditional increase in travel volume. The state-owned company "Via Lietuva" has warned that temporary restrictions will be in place on various routes.
This combination of factors is expected to lead to considerable delays, with journeys on certain roads potentially taking much longer than usual. The infrastructure projects are essential for maintaining and improving the national road network, but their timing presents a challenge for commuters and travelers.
"Via Lietuva" urges motorists to proactively assess the traffic situation before embarking on their trips. Planning journeys in advance and allocating additional time are recommended strategies to mitigate the impact of these unavoidable delays. The company aims to inform the public to ensure smoother, albeit slower, travel during this period.
