Almost 15 years of promises: the residents who contributed to the asphalting of the road do not receive its repair

There is a street named after the famous V.Sirokomlė in the village of Mykoliškių, located in the Rukainai borough of the Vilnius district. It received asphalt in 2009, and a year later that new asphalt would have needed a serious repair.

Residents contributed

Yes 15min said Alexander, who lives on this street. According to him, the residents contributed a lot with their own funds to make this street more beautiful and tidy – they transported gravel, prepared the foundation for asphalting. Then, each resident built a lighting pole near his house, on which the lights installed receive electricity from those households and the residents themselves pay for it.

However, the street itself is not private or exclusive to this block. At its back is one of the most famous cultural objects of the Vilnius region, the V.Sirokomlė Museum with an outdoor stage for various events nearby.

“Already when they laid the first layer, we saw that the asphalt was like fluffy, with dots, empty places. We drew attention, representatives of the municipality and laboratory specialists also came, who did an examination and instructed to lay another layer, because the first one was laid with poor quality.

I’m not a specialist, but then it was said that the first layer was too thin. In addition, they started laying the asphalt from the mountain, so it is said that the roller accelerates while driving and cannot adequately compress the asphalt.

He laid the second layer and that’s it, the road is finished. But problems appeared a year later,” Aleksandr said.
