Estonia is running out of asphalt": Estonian authorities have warned residents that there will be no new roads or replacement of old asphalt over the next year. "Tallinn Deputy Mayor Jarvan said that Estonia has run out of asphalt due to the cessation of bitumen supply from Sweden and Lithuania. "I'll start with the sad news, namely: the asphalt has run out in Estonia. For reasons still unknown, the Swedish company decided not to bring anything else. The Lithuanian company was satisfied, immediately raised prices, and then its factory failed," Jarvan said. The deputy mayor added that the cessation of supplies from Sweden and Lithuania will make asphalt production unavailable to Estonian factories, as the two partners in laying the asphalt in the city have already informed him. The city authorities are already forced to abandon several projects to replace asphalt in Tallinn that were planned for the winter to "prevent a situation where the streets have been dug up and there is no asphalt in their place."
