Latvia’s road infrastructure is bracing for potential damage as a heatwave brings temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. The Latvian State Roads (LVC) warns that existing asphalt, particularly on older road sections and recent repair sites, is susceptible to softening in the heat. This softening could lead to road surface instability and potentially hazardous conditions for drivers. The LVC has not specified which roads are most at risk, but advises caution. The issue stems from the asphalt becoming pliable at high temperatures, increasing the risk of deformation. Motorists are advised to be aware of potentially affected areas and drive carefully.
