Brīvības bulvāris

The street was opened a month ago, finally I took the opportunity to take some photos today.
Ok, here we go. The street starts with a roundabout.



New parking spaces. The street before reconstruction was 1x1, now after reconstruction it's 2x2 only in this section.



Crossing with Pumpura/Priežu street.



You can see that between the lanes are built new parking spaces, now they are clear, but when the ZOC will be finished, hardly you'll be able to find a free parking spot.



New bus stop built (still don't know which bus runs here ).



Crossing with Akmeņu street.





On the right you can see Jelgava's BMX track and it's the hardest one in Europe.



Crossing with Lāčplēša street and the city hospital in the background. The street goes 1x1 again.



The traffic-light is off.





More parking spaces.



Another new bus stop.



Crossing with Izstādes street and a road to hospital.



Crossing with Garozas street (P97).





And the street ends here with the crossing of 2x2 Lielā (big) street.



Hope you like it!

Good work! Jegava is getting better and more comfortable with such development projects! Pity that other Latvian cities/towns can't afford such innovations...

Many Latvian towns are already brought in order more than Jelgava - in Jelgava there are still quite many Soviet time pavements and streets, many unrenovated buildings. Finally the towns of Zemgale have started to wake up, not only Jelgava, also Bauska due to it's 400th anniversary is going through rather big changes, I even can't recognize my town. Sadly, that economic crysis most likely will stop all this development next year.
