Road conditions 12.12 – 19.12

In recent weeks, many residents and drivers whose daily journey takes them on national and municipal roads used for earthworks for the Rail Baltica railway development have noticed that the roads are muddier than usual due to large-scale construction work, changeable weather and snowfall.

We understand that this causes inconvenience — it stains cars and makes driving conditions more difficult. Construction companies Verston, Infrastructure, INF Infrastructure, TREV-2 Group, Merko & GRK Oy We use a variety of cleaning measures on a daily basis to ensure the cleanest and safest roads possible throughout the work. We also cooperate with local governments and the Estonian Transport Board in providing operational information.

What we have done and what we can still do:

• more frequent cleaning of roads;
• stricter wheel washing and cleaning procedures during field trips to sites and mines;
• separate response teams in more problematic locations;
• adjusting transport arrangements during sensitive times
