After the European Commission (EC) gave the green light last Thursday for the construction of a multifunctional complex with a national stadium in Vilnius, the mayor of the capital Valdas Benkunskas says construction should be completed in about 2,5 years, or sooner than the planned 31-month deadline.
"As far as we know from the builders, it really won't take that long, the project itself could be completed much faster, perhaps in 20 or 22 months, but first the work has to resume. We hope that there will definitely be movement at the construction site before summer starts," the mayor said.
V. Benkunskas did not predict when the first matches could be played at the stadium - according to the mayor, this would become clear after a work schedule is drawn up and technical work projects are prepared.
We want to ask you if you believe that this time it will be built National Stadium?
