Latvia is currently experiencing difficult driving conditions as roads are snow-covered and icy. In response, efforts to clear and treat the roads with anti-slip materials have been initiated. A total of 114 units from the winter service have been deployed to improve the situation and ensure safer travel conditions for drivers.

The most affected areas include the main national roads, particularly on the Tallinn highway (A1) from Berģi to Zvejniekciema station, the Vidzeme highway (A2) from Riga to Augšlīgatne, and the Valmiera highway (A3) from Murjāņi to the Brasla bridge. Additionally, challenging conditions have been reported on the Riga bypass and several other key routes throughout the country, which are critical for maintaining connectivity and facilitating transportation.

As the winter weather continues, the implications of these conditions not only affect individual drivers but also have broader consequences for logistics and supply chains within Latvia. The situation calls for ongoing monitoring and response efforts to keep the highways safe and operational during this harsh winter period, ensuring that essential services can continue without significant disruption.
