Due to the reconstruction taking place at the intersection of 11. november embankment and 13. janvāras street, the movement of trams 1, 2, 5 and 10 in Riga from Wednesday in both directions will be organized only along 13. janvāras street, the company “Rīgas satiksme” informed.
In the project, without the reconstruction of the intersection, it is still planned to adjust the infrastructure of tram line 7 in the section from Centrāltirgus street to the end point “Ķengarags” and the infrastructure of tram line 5 in the section from the intersection of Jūrmala gatve and Slokas street to the end point “Iļguciems” to the parameters of the low-floor tram.
The project plans to renovate four and build one substation, equipping all of them with electrical equipment, with the aim of ensuring adequate power supply for low-floor tram movement.
The total cost of the project is planned to be 55.2 million euros, while Cohesion Fund co-financing amounts to 85% of the eligible costs of the project, or 38.78 million euros.
