Intensive construction works are already underway on a new rest area next to the country’s main transport artery, the A1 motorway. The works are being carried out according to a design prepared by the SRP projektas team.

When designing this type of infrastructure facility, several important aspects must be taken into account:

• Properly separating the flows and parking areas for passenger cars and heavy vehicles. This ensures both noise management during rest periods and physical safety within the area.

• Planning modern and attractive infrastructure. The rest area will include smart toilets, a children’s playground, uniquely designed shelters, while greenery will add beauty and a sense of cosiness.

“A rest area must meet the highest TEN-T (Trans-European Transport Network) standards. It must be not only technically well arranged, but also as convenient and safe as possible for drivers and passengers. This means professionally planned pedestrian infrastructure, accessibility for people with disabilities, modern sanitary facilities, and rest and recreation areas. In total, we designed five such rest areas on the Vilnius–Klaipėda section,” said Tadas Kasperavičius, Head of SRP projektas.
