LTG Infra CEO Karolis Sankovski said: “Today, we already have a company that will carry out the technical supervision of the Neris Bridge. It is expected that the winner of the tender for the construction of the bridge itself will be announced later this year.
“One of our main tasks is to mobilise all our forces and to proceed swiftly with the procurement of construction contracts and services as soon as we have the technical designs. The project partners are therefore committed to prioritising concluding design activities for the Rail Baltica main line in Lithuania.”
This tender was processed according to the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) tendering procedures, known as the Red Book.
