Lemminkäinen has signed an agreement with the Estonian road service for a road renovation contract on highway E20 between Tallinn and Narva.

An 88-metre long highway bridge will be built across the main road, as well as a bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists. In addition, several new connections will be added to the Haljala multi-level junction, 1.5 kilometres of walkways and bicycle lanes will be built, a 5-kilometre stretch of road will be furnished with highway lighting and 350 metres of noise barrier will be erected. The contract includes extensive tree and bush planting.

Activities on-site has begun with earthwork and the project will be completed at the beginning of 2013.
