In 2023, it is planned to start using average speed control radars in Latvia, one of which will be located on the A2 highway section 54.4 - 62.2 km.
Farms within 20 kilometers of the work site had to assist with the construction by providing a man with a horse carriage loaded with stones.
The construction of the road began in Riga and was completed in 1858, when it was added to the Saint Petersburg-Pskov-Warsaw highway network.
Before the financial crisis of 2008, it was planned to rebuild the road as a high-speed highway from Riga to "Sēnīte" (23.3 km) from 2011 to 2015, but due to a lack of funds, only the section from Berģi to Garkalne was rebuilt.
[5] The contract price of the project was 46.5 million euros, of which 60% was financed by the state budget and 40% was co-financed by the EU Cohesion Fund.
The construction works were carried out by SIA Viadukts for a contract price of 3.1 million euros, which was fully financed by the state budget.
