Technical description
The goal of the project is the modernization of the road section between Vilnius and Minsk M-7/E28 Minsk - Ašmiany - border of the Republic of Lithuania (Kamenny Log) with length 89 kilometers according to the parameters of I category. Branches of trans-European transport corridor IXB at the road section Minsk-Pershai correspond to the parameters of I category and has 4 lanes, and at the road section Pershai-border of the Republic of Lithuania (Kamenny Log) correspond to parameters of II category and has 2 lanes.

Lithuania and Belarus are also exploring together the upgrade of the Border Crossing Point "Kamenyj Log" at this road section which is unable to cope with growing traffic.
