Snow hampers travel on Cēsis–Vecpiebalga–Madona road

Snow made driving difficult on Saturday morning along part of the Cēsis–Vecpiebalga–Madona regional road, LSM reported, citing Latvian State Roads.

The affected stretch runs from Bērzkrogs to Vecpiebalga, between kilometres 15 and 49. The road is covered in snow, and crews are clearing it and spreading anti-skid material, the road authority said.

As snow continues to fall, fresh layers are forming. Latvian State Roads urged drivers to allow extra time, adjust their speed to road conditions and leave a greater distance from vehicles ahead. Driving was also difficult on regional roads around Cēsis.
