Rail Baltica is a major trans-European railway infrastructure project designed to integrate the Baltic States into the European rail network with a new, high-speed, standard-gauge line. The project connects Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, forming a strategic transport corridor from North to Central Europe. Managed by RB Rail AS, the initiative promotes sustainable mobility, regional economic growth, and logistics modernization by enabling both passenger and freight transport. Rail Baltica is among the largest infrastructure investments in the region, targeting full EU interoperability and contributing to the development of a unified, environmentally friendly transport ecosystem in the region.
The construction procurement for the mainline of Rail Baltica’s Estonian section has reached a significant milestone: two international consortia have been declared successful.
RB Rail AS, representing the three Baltic states' ministries responsible for the Rail Baltica project, submitted a funding application under the CEF-Digital program “5G Large-Scale Pilots – 5G Coverage Along Transport Corridors”.
Rail Baltica's project coordinator has submitted a €325 million funding application for infrastructure development across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania for the latest Connecting Europe Facility.
This procurement, valued at nearly one billion euros, will determine who will complete the design and construction of the mainline between Ülemiste–Pärnu and Pärnu–the Latvian border in the next stages.
The Rail Baltica joint venture RB Rail AS has announced the signing of two new agreements under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), which will greatly accelerate the implementation of the Rail Baltica project.
Rail Baltic Estonia, Rail Baltica’s national implementing body, has launched a landmark infrastructure tender, valued at up to €932 million, for the construction of the Rail Baltica main line – a project of key strategic importance for the entire European rail network.
Rail Baltica will be participating in InnoTrans 2024, the world’s leading transport and infrastructure exhibition, taking place from September 24-27 in Berlin, Germany.
Rail Baltica delivery organization in Estonia signed a contract for the construction of one of the most unique sections of the route, where the tracks will partially run through a trench up to 10 meters below ground level.
