 Project „Development of Road E262 (Kaunas–Zarasai–Daugpilis) of the Transeuropean Network. Road Pavement Reconstruction“
 
The project is financed from the European Union Structural Assistance funds 2007–2013 according to the Economic Growth Action Plan Priority 5 “Development of Trans-European Transport Networks“  instrument VP2-5.1-SM-01-V “Enhancement of the Permeability of Trans-European Road Infrastructure. Improvement of Technical Parameters".
  
International corridors crossing our country are the main part of the Lithuanian road network. Road E262 of the Transeuropian network, merging on Lithuanian territory with main road A6 Kaunas–Zarasai–Daugpilis, is one of the links of network of the European transport corridors. There are still some sections of this road falling behind the requirements for international roads. The main objective of the project is the improvement of road technical parameters, adapting them to the growing traffic volume, the improvement of traffic conditions, the preservation of harmony with environment..
 
After performing of works foreseen in the strategic development programmme for road E262 of the Transeuropian network the following benefits will be achieved:
·          improved image of Lithuania as a transit state;
·          improved road traffic conditions;
·          reduced accident rate;
·          reduced vehicle operating costs;
·          slower pavement degradation and longer pavement service life;
·          lower costs of routine maintenance.
