“With the opening of the new section of the Southeastern bypass, drivers coming from Vilnius will be able to continue their journey towards Marijampolė more conveniently. At the same time, city residents will have much more convenient access to Palemonas and Petrašiūnai,” said Mayor Visvaldas Matijošaitis in the announcement.
According to the municipality, those arriving via the hydroelectric power plant road towards Pažaislis Monastery will be able to drive straight on the new bypass or descend via the viaduct and continue towards T. Masiulis Street.
