Klaipėda Resumes Cruise Terminal Construction After Route Agreement

Construction of Klaipėda’s new cruise ship terminal resumed on 13 November after the city and port authority agreed on routes for heavy vehicles delivering materials to the site.

The work had been halted for just over a week after the municipality introduced a 25-tonne weight limit on roads leading to the construction site. The restriction prevented trucks from delivering soil needed to form the terminal’s new quay area.

Under the agreed traffic scheme, heavy vehicles can continue to use Naujojo Uosto Street to reach the site. Klaipėda Mayor Arvydas Vaitkus said trucks may also use Liepų, Priestočio and Dariaus ir Girėno streets designated for port cargo traffic. The municipality removed the signs that had blocked access.

The terminal project is valued at €50.3 million. Construction is being carried out by the Klaipėda State Seaport Authority.
