It also found 16 percent. In 10% of the cases, works were also carried out on the sections of state highways that were in good condition.

In addition, cases have been identified in which funds have been allocated to pave these streets, which are used by only 1 or 9 residents of the home.
Regarding the execution of works, in 2016-2019. The Lithuanian Highway Administration (LAKD) did not always carry out works on state-important roads as planned: 8 percent. road works were delayed on time, 66 percent. roads and 73 percent. Failure to start asphalting works on gravel roads, 272 million. The euro was also used for works that were not even in the priority queues. Deficiencies in the roads of the municipalities were also identified, all priority queues formed by the audited municipalities were only partially fulfilled, not all road works were completed on time.
LAKD reiterates that it actively participated in the preparation of the audit report of the State Audit Office and provided ideas on how the country’s road infrastructure should be managed and planned, presented plans and deadlines within which it is intended to do so. The Directorate indicates that the State Audit, having carried out the audit for the period 2016-2019, stated it in 2020. The situation has changed significantly for the better.
