In Daugavpils, the local municipality plans to start grading gravel roads that have been damaged during the winter and spring seasons. The Daugavpils Municipal Services Board has informed the news agency LETA that the gravel is currently too wet for grading to commence without causing further damage. If grading is attempted while the gravel is saturated, it could lead to the formation of deep ruts and potholes, making the roads even harder to traverse.

The authorities have promised that grading will begin as soon as the condition of the gravel is suitable. A schedule for the grading works will be published on the municipality's website, allowing residents to stay informed about when repairs will be taking place. This is a proactive measure to ensure that road conditions improve and that residents can travel more safely and comfortably.

The grading of roads in Daugavpils is planned to be carried out according to a timeline set to extend until the end of 2026. However, the Municipal Services Board has noted that the execution of these works will depend on weather conditions. Grading will specifically occur when the technical condition of the roads does not meet the specifications for routine road maintenance. This highlights the local government's commitment to maintaining road safety and infrastructure amidst changing weather conditions.
