Project title in English: Reconstruction of the road Karksi – Nuia – Seda bridge
The aim
The aim of the project was to ensure accessibility of the border region by reconstruction of the road from Karksi – Nuia – Seda bridge, significantly improving local road network and environment in general (“black” cover, anti-dust cover) making the region more attractive and accessible for tourists and cargo carriers.
According to the Schengen Agreement the development of the EU countries does not end with state boundaries. Therefore it is very important to plan and develop border zone infrastructure, and this served as the guideline of this project.
Currently only two border crossing sites between Latvia and Estonia have asphalt concrete pavement. They are located in Ainaži and Valka, in 200 km distance from one another.
Unguriņi border crossing point is located 60 km from Valka and 110 km from Ainaži border crossing point. There are other crossing points, too, but they all have gravel pavements and are connected only with local roads.
After procurement procedure organized by the Leading Partner in Pärnu it was declared that the winner of construction tender was Estonian consortium OǕ Valga Teed, who performed the construction works for 1503395.33 EUR. Construction supervision was performed by Estonian company AS Taalri Varahaldus for the total amount of 38 605.05 EUR (including VAT 21 % – 6700.05 EUR).
Partnership
The parties involved in the project are Estonian Road Administration and SJSC “Latvian State Roads”. Estonian Road Administration is the leading partner in this project.
Result
The road section No.54 Karksi – Nuia – Lilli (0.820 km – 16.975 km) in the Estonia and the road section P17 Valmiera – Rūjiena – Estonian border (48.00 km – 55.832 km) were reconstructed within the project. Estonian section in total length of 6.11 km was covered by asphalt and Latvian section in total length of 7.832 km – with triple surface dressing.
By implementing this project there is another border crossing point connecting the main road network of both countries. For Latvia it is road P17 leading to Valmiera and for Estonia it is road no.54 that leads to Karksi Nuia and further to Tartu. Unguriņi crossing point could be an alternative to the border crossing points located in Ainaži and Valka with the distance in between of 200 km. In 2009, the border in Unguriņi was crossed by 21 785 persons and 9462 vehicles.
Budget
The total amount of the project budget was 5 060 240,92 EUR including investments for the Latvian partner – 1 920 101,04 EUR.
Implementation period: 05.12.2011 – 04.12.2013
