Lithuania plans to allocate € 20 million within the framework of Natura 2000 European Ecological Program to turn the Neris River from Vilnius to the water road flowing from Vilnius and carrying military loads. This was reported by the publication LETUVOS RYTAS.
The Internal Water Railways Directorate has already enabled 0.9 million cubic meters of soil to be upgraded for this money to work to regulate the river bed. In addition, the river will be prepared for the passage of ships with the population of the evacuated population.
The idea of transforming a river into a release path and a military road belongs to the Mayor of Vilnius Vladas Benkunskas. He already made consultations with military and civil defense experts.
The width of the Neris River flowing from the capital of Lithuania is about 100 meters (extending to Belarus called Vilia). It is small enough with a depth of 1.2 to 4 meters. Only river trams pass. In Kaunas, Neris flows to Neman, but it is almost impossible to reach the city due to six shallow slits.
Early in Lithuania They said It’s about being ready to send troops to Ukraine.
