To the opening of the bridge, farmers brought a pig’s head

In February 2023, the bridge passing through Dubysa was in an emergency condition – crumbling, breaking, traffic closed. The inhabitants were left without direct transport, and everyday life turned into a challenge.

« The problem now that the buses are late is to wait, » the woman said in 2023.

« We drove less, but of course it was bad, » the man had previously complained.

After more than 2 years and 8 million. The bridge is renovated, traffic is already allowed.

The officials are happy, but the farmers are not. It turned out that the ring was equipped with heavy technicians too narrow for the bridge – trucks do not fit.

Farmers have built a table with half -smoked pigs at the intersection – jokes that they are a symbol of semi -galical design ideas.

« Maybe just a semi -headed designer, we want to be semi -headed, » the man explained.

Farmers said the benefits of the re -bridge – no: due to an awkward junction, it will take tens of kilometers around them.

« We were poor, we were doing 70 kilometers.

Technique climbs curbs, tires will begin to cut, and who will cover the loss?

Farmers predict: Quickly lyns, signs, and the entire intersection will suffer.

« It’s not a picture for me. The technique climbs with curbs, the tires will start cutting, and who will cover the loss? » – the farmer Julius resented.

« Badly, again to the highway, we risk again, wait, wait and not much. For pedestrians, cyclists gave us all the options, and we are complicated, » said farmer Remigijus Valaitis.

The elder said he suffered a lot of losses during the bridge closure year.

« Our company is the buying of scrap metal. As there was no alternative to the residents, they drove to other cities. Similarly, we lost about 300,000 a year, » explained A. Gelžinis.

The bridge builders and the Minister of Transport are convinced that no major changes are needed – cosmetic improvements will be sufficient.

« All you need to do is pry the ring structures – not to make a right corner, but a sloping corner. The farmers themselves showcased with their technology how to pass cautiously, » said Minister of Transport and Communications Eugenijus Sabutis.

The minister also has a proposal for farmers.

« The farmer has to drive outside because of this gets income. If he starts to drive on the road, the question will question what they get from. Passing passes – I do not believe there will be big traffic jams, » Sabutis said.

The builders do not see the problems here.

« As a professional, I would say that nothing should be done. We saw the cars, the tractor – some drove with double wheels. Who drove properly – everyone passed, without hinging.

But the problem is seen by the mayor of Raseiniai.

« We are delighted that we have finally updated the stretch. I agree on the ring – it is narrow, it could be a little wider in rural areas, » said Arvydas Nekrošius, Mayor of Raseiniai District.

However, Via Lietuva leaves the hope that the project may still be reviewed.

« The infrastructure is being built for everyone to use it and evaluate the situation with the designers and contractors.
