In the scope of the contract, infrastructure was built along a 23.5 km segment of the border in Võru County which starts at the tri-country border point between Estonia, Latvia and Russia and ends on the southern shore of Lake Vanigõjärv in Tserebi village 3.5 km north of Luhamaa border checkpoint.
Technically and in terms of work organisation; this was a project that required extremely precise planning and solid preliminary work. The works were performed in a narrow corridor with strict border regime rules. Part of the road was supported on pontoons to cross a marshy area and the access conditions for construction machinery were very complicated. Due to the challenging conditions, the construction period was long enough so that the more complicated border segments can be established over two winters while the ground is frozen.
The lead partner in performing the work was AS Merko Ehitus Eesti and the partner was AS GRK Infra.
