On September 22, 2008, the agreement on construction of the Eastern Arterial’s intersection with Gaujas Street (follow-up of the existing traffic overpass on Vairogu Street) was signed between the Riga City Council Traffic Department and the General Partnership TLTB. GP TLTB provided the materials and human resources necessary for the project. The following steps were made in the framework of this contract: site preparation works, construction works of bored piles, concreting of rests and scaffold bridges, widening of the existing roadway, road construction works, construction of the traffic lights, electrical works, rainwater drainage construction works. In total there are two scaffold bridges, each 506 m x 11.50 m.

Within the given financial support, the work was carried out until July 2010, resumed in April 2011 and completed in November 2011.
