The contract, worth 19.935 mln euros, with a consortium
of IT Infra Lietuva and YIT Infra Eesti was signed on
December 4, told Vitalijus
Andrejevas, director of the Lithuanian Road Administration. (LRA), told LETA/BNS.
Other bidders
included Latvia's A.C.B. (23.621 mln euros), Latvia's Binders (26.408 mln euros), Panevezio Keliai (23.388 mln euros), Kauno Tiltai (20.782 mln euros), and a consortium of Eurovia Lietuva, Fegda and Tilsta (21.112 mln euros).
A second call for tenders, worth up to 24.4 mln euros, was
issued in early November for designing and building overpasses in two
locations on the highway, with the deadline for submitting bids set at December

Built back in 1985, the concrete road between Vilnius and
Utena, some 100 kilometers northeast of the capital, is increasingly costly to
maintain.
