In December 2010 Kauno Tiltai completed works of the first stage of investment. Within the frames of the project a four-lane overpass was constructed, the longest one in Lithuania, 610 m long. The overpass design was awarded the gold medal in Lithuanian contest “Product of the Year 2010”. Works on the investment comprised also reconstruction of the communication line, water pipe and gas mains. Additionally, access roads were constructed, a tunnel bridge was reconstructed and lighting system was installed. After completion of the stage II of the investment the Jakai roundabout comprised three levels. On the second level a road 317 meter long was made in direction to Kaunas – Palanga, on the third – 552 meter long road in direction to Palanga – Kaunas. The roundabout was commissioned in November 2012.

 

Alteration of the railroad tunnel in Kaunas
