The reconstruction of the Zemitāna Bridge is planned to start this construction season, with 18 months from the start of construction to complete the work.
Andrejs Urtāns, head of the Transport Infrastructure Administration of the Regional Council, said at the council meeting that the pedestrian stairs will be closed during the construction works, but an alternative route will be provided for pedestrians. The public transport stop on the bridge will also be closed for a while.
