According to the preliminary technical design, 36 road viaducts, 13 bridges, three railway viaducts, three animal crossings, 119 culverts, and regional stations with passing loops in Salacgrīva, Skulte and Ādaži will be constructed.
Similarly, the second lot, covering a 45km section from Misa to the Latvia-Lithuania state border, is expected to include 16 road viaducts, four bridges, four railway viaducts, one animal crossing, 54 culverts, and regional stations in Bauska and Iecava.
Although both lots are being tendered under a single procurement procedure, they will be contracted individually to deliver design and design supervision services for the track substructure, superstructure and related civil structures on the high-speed double-track electrified railway line.
A two-stage procedure comprising qualification and negotiations has been selected for the procurement.
