Work is expected to commence in 2021 and the stretch should be complete by 2025. In all the work is expected to cost €300 million. The work is being planned by the Lithuanian Road Administration (LAKD) on behalf of the Ministry of Transport.

In addition, plans are in hand to improve the Liepkalnio-Zirniu intersection in Vilnius. The work will be carried out by two Lithuanian contractors, Fegda and Tilsta. The contract is worth €31 million and the work is expected to take 18 months to complete.
