The A7 is a national road in Latvia connecting Riga to the Lithuanian border (Grenctāle), through Bauska. The road is also known in Latvia as the Bauska Highway. The A7 is part of European route E67 (also known as the Via Baltica) and the European TEN-T road network. The road becomes the Lithuanian A10 at the border. The length of the A7 in Latvian territory is 86 kilometers. Currently the A7 has 2x2 lanes within the territory of Riga and on 12 km stretch from Riga border to Riga bypass A5, the rest is 1x1 lanes. The current speed limit is 90 km/h except for 2x2 expressway stretch where it's 110 km/h and in urban areas 50 km/h / 70 km/h. In period of 2005 - 2006, the A7 was reconstructed from the 25th until the 43rd kilometer and from the 67th until the 85th kilometer. A 2 kilometer stretch of the road was reconstructed in Iecava, and reconstruction of another 15 kilometer long stretch was finished in 2012.[citation needed] The Ķekava bypass was opened to traffic on 13 October 2023. 11 km of the bypass is an expressway and 7 km is a regular 1x1 road. The Ķekava bypass is said to be the first motorway in Latvia.[1] The average traffic (AADT) on the A7 in 2024 was 31,227 cars per day near Riga and 5,704 cars per day at the border of Lithuania.[2]
