The company, which has undertaken the responsibility to execute the Rail Baltica project in Lithuania, claims that the new bridge will be over 1.5km long, making it the longest railway bridge in the Baltic region.

LTG Infra CEO Karolis Sankovski said: “The railway bridge over the river Neris will be the most technically complex engineering construction of the Rail Baltica railway project. This will be the longest bridge not only in Lithuania but also in all Baltic States. Another engineering challenge is that there will not be single support in the water, and so the selected construction contractor will face a serious challenge in this task.”

The new bridge will be linked to Rail Baltica’s new 1,435 mm width gauge railway stretch running between Kaunas and the Lithuanian-Latvian border.

Rail Baltica, which is valued at around €5.8bn, is the largest railway infrastructure project in the region.

Under this project, an electrified European standard gauge two-way railway line will be put together to pass through Warsaw, Kaunas, Riga and Tallinn.

Recently, Rail Baltica selected OÜ Reaalprojekt and Nord Projekt for designing its largest rolling stock depot in Estonia.

As many as six bidders contested in the design procurement of the rolling stock depot.
