A consortium of Eiffage, Budimex and Rizzani de Eccher has secured the civil engineering and track-laying work for 230 kilometres of the Latvian section of the Rail Baltica project.

The contract covers:

  • 175 engineering structures
  • 11 wildlife crossings

This line aims to integrate the Baltic states into the European rail network with the creation of a link between Helsinki (Finland) and Warsaw (Poland). This transnational rail will continues the expansion of the single European market thanks to the additional trade facilitated by interoperability between the various transport networks – land, water and air. It also increases the proportion of more environmentally friendly modes of transport used.

ERB Rail is responsible for a section designed for passenger trains travelling at 249 kph and freight trains at 120 kph.
