TheA6 is anational road in Latvia, connectingRiga to theBelarusian border atPāternieki. ItbypassesDaugavpils in its north and passes throughKrāslava and is also known as the Daugavpils Highway inLatvia.
The road is part ofEuropean route E22,European route E262 and the LatvianTEN-T road network. Once inside Belarus, the road becomes theBelarusian P20. The length of the A6 in Latvian territory is 307 kilometres (191 mi). Currently the A6 has two lanes in each direction between Riga andOgre and betweenNīcgale and Daugavpils, with other parts having just a single carriageway. The current speed limit in winter is 90 kilometres per hour (56 mph), but in summer the dual carriageway parts are raised to 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph).
Since 2013 a shorter route has replaced the Salaspils-Koknese section of A6 (numbered as P80), mainly built for transit traffic. The construction of it was first started in the 1980s, but the plan was abandoned later. The first stage of the construction starts inTīnuži and ends inKoknese. It was planned to be complete by 2012, but due to economical reasons the works were delayed and were finished in 2013. Between 2020 and 2027 the authorities plan to bring the new road into Riga. It would also have 2x2 lanes with an expressway/motorway status. There are also plans to continue the new road parallel to the A6 as far asPļaviņas. Theannual average daily traffic of the A6 in 2024 was 8,572 vehicles.
