On Monday morning, February 23rd, the Latvian State Roads authority reported that the worst road conditions are found in the Vidzeme region. The area around Valkas is particularly affected, with local roads presenting significant challenges for drivers. This report highlights the need for caution among travelers and commuters in the region.
The challenging driving conditions extend to several main roads, including significant sections of the Vidzeme highway. Reports indicate difficult travel on segments from Augšlīgatne to Raunas, from Smiltene to Veclaicene along the Vidzeme highway, as well as along sections of the Valmieras highway and various regional roads.
