Overview
Background & policy context:
The action is the second phase of the pre-identified, cross-border "Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica" (RB) project connecting the three Baltic States with Central Europe along the North Sea–Baltic Corridor.
Objectives:
The aim of the Global Project "Rail Baltic/Rail Baltica" (Tallinn-Riga-Kaunas-Warsaw axis) is to develop a new, EU gauge double-track electrified railway line to eliminate the technical bottleneck due to the gauge differences (1520 mm vs. EU 1435 mm).
The aim of this Action is to further implement all the necessary preparatory activities, to continue with the construction works and to prepare for the main construction phases of the railway line.
