Since Monday morning, a very heavy city traffic junction, the castle roundabout, has been closed for reconstruction. Transportation is also prohibited on the P.Vileišis bridge. Already on the first day of reconstruction, residents are suffocating in traffic jams. According to the LNK news service, the road has lengthened at least three times. All the roads in the city are jammed tonight.
The main places drivers travel around the castle ring are Varnių, the streets of Nuokalnals.
There has also been a significant increase in the number of cars on Savanorių Avenue, Western Bypass.
The LNK Knowledge Service reports that the reconstruction will cost more than 3 million euros.
“It is planned to renew the network of heating routes, lighting the streets of Kaunas, ESO will update the electrical and gas systems, Kauno autobusai will update the supports of the catenary network,” Aloyzas Pakalniškis, head of the management department, told LNK from the city of Kaunas. News.
According to him, after the reconstruction the order of traffic will change.
“When driving from the ring road to Birštono street, we will no longer have a traffic light, it will not be regulated by a traffic light. This way we can get more traffic through that place, “explained A. Pakalniškis.
According to him, the recently rebuilt P. Vileišis bridge has become dangerous: “A dangerous element is the deformation sections of the bridge. They will be replaced. ”
Drivers should find other ways to get to the center.
Traffic is also prohibited in Kaunas, Europe, avenues of peace, P.Kalpoko street, Karaliaus Mindaugas avenue.
There are restrictions and on St. Gertrūdos and Šauklių streets. As a result, on other Kaunas streets, drivers get stuck in traffic jams and move much slower.
Kaunas residents driving from Vilijampolė and Šilainiai have to be patient, because there are many cars around.
“The nightmare is complete. He could have made a detour somewhere to get through somehow, ”said the Kaunas resident.
“I hope the work gets done on time, because if it doesn’t catch up by September, it will be a disaster,” said another man.
When Vilijampolė and Šilainius are completely separated from the center, the only remaining Varniai bridge is obstructed. Residents of Žaliakalnis are suffocating from the congestion.
Those who are behind the wheel have to look for streets that can cut corners and slide faster towards Savanorių avenue and thus reach the city center.
Therefore, the smaller streets of Žaliakalnis also received more attention from drivers this morning.
However, there were also those who did not find out about the repair of the Kaunas Castle roundabout, did not understand the information so much and hoped to descend, but they were left with nothing. The roundabout connecting Jonava, Šauklių streets and the P.Vileišis bridge is completely closed. Only pedestrians can walk across the bridge, so drivers had to turn around and drive on other streets.
The castle roundabout will be closed throughout the summer. During the works, not only will the underground communications and lighting be fixed, but the pavement and sidewalks will also be fixed. It will also be more convenient for St. At the intersection of Gertrūdos and Šauklių streets. Defects will be removed from the P.Vileišis bridge.
Due to the closure of the Castle Ring, bus and trolley bus schedules are also changing, so Kaunas residents need to plan their time more, because some detour routes are much longer.
