Due to construction works, the street in Vilnius was submerged in mud: the cleaning method raised doubts

SE Grinda shared photos of the scene on his Facebook page. They show that in some places the depth of the earth reaches 7 centimeters.

However, most of the discussion centered on how local workers tried to clear the sidewalk.

“Contractors, in response to feedback from Grinda specialists, are attacking to clean the sidewalks, pushing all the dirt directly into the rainwater pipe, where the dirt will inevitably enter open bodies of water. What are we doing – Vilnius City Municipality, Ministry of the Environment, Maxima LT? However, it’s not even the second time, “says Grinda’s record.

The comments also include a video recording of how workers are asked whether this method of handling is appropriate and who instructed them to clean up dirt in this way.

As can be seen from the published photos, the construction works in this place are carried out by the UAB Baltijos pašvaistė. Pavilnionių st. 55 a commercial building will be erected, where Maxima plans to rent the premises.

As Paulius Vaitekėnas, Media Relations Specialist at the Vilnius City Municipality Marketing and Communication Department, commented on Delfi, the municipality reacted quickly to the situation and the builder was warned to clean up Pavilnionių st. and to compensate UAB Grinda for the losses suffered by the treatment of the rainwater network.

“Currently, the builder is planning the reconstruction of Pavilnionių street. The above-mentioned works will not receive a permit until the builder has obligations to the Vilnius city municipality – this is an uncleaned street, not resolved with Grinda, unresolved issues at the earthen construction site.

The Vilnius City Municipality does not tolerate such actions of the contractor, because such actions then affect the entire sector – developers, contractors. Additional inspections are underway and the builders are under scrutiny, ”said the response.
