Pavement repair work continues on 11-osios Kovo Street. During them, a new lane for pedestrians and bicycles will be installed. However, the quality of the materials used is already forcing Kaunas residents to shake their heads.

Readers of the kauno.diena.lt portal shared photos with freshly paved pavement on the sidewalk of Kovo 11th Street. The photos show that the tiles are crumbling, breaking and losing their original shape.

“Low-quality tiles were laid next to the Rėda building (March 11, 49A). Why don’t contractors return low-quality tiles to the manufacturer and place them on the sidewalks? Poor quality tiles are crumbling, so what will happen after winter when they are cleaned and salt and sand spread? It would be good for the contractor to replace the low-quality tiles with high-quality tiles, ”said Saulius from Kaunas, who wrote for the editorial office.

The portal kauno.diena.lt asked what the specialists of the Kaunas municipality, responsible for the city’s economy, think about these blocks. It turned out that low-quality tiles will be replaced with new ones. It is true that the maintenance works on March 11th Street have not yet been completed, so it is officially a construction site. Once the object is accepted, everything will be re-inspected and if defects remain, the contractor must eliminate them. Only then can the object be accepted.
