Besides, it will be used for the construction works on Rail Baltica mainline on the priority section in Latvia and the development of detailed technical design for the construction base in the Skulte infrastructure maintenance facility.

The activities also include the construction of substructure and associated elements on the Rail Baltica mainline in Estonia and ensure cross-border dimension and technical interoperability, as well as analyse the relevant models for the cross-border section construction procurement.

RB Rail management board chairperson and CEO Agnis Driksna said: “Today we live in times of increased economic uncertainty resulting from geopolitical crisis, continuous price fluctuations, and volatile construction material availability, and it is more important than ever to ensure tight cross-border cooperation between the partners in the three Baltic countries to deliver the Rail Baltica and maintain its position amongst the top priority high-speed infrastructure projects in the European Union.”
