By dividing the construction of “Rail Baltica” into stages, the total costs in the first phase scenario have been reduced by at least a third. This is what the Minister of Transport claims. However, almost three billion euros still remain uncovered. The Ministry of Transport has submitted a report for approval on what the project of our century should look like in six years, and where to get the money for it. The document is currently in limited availability, but some of its outlines have already become known. For example, even in the most positive scenario, “Rail Baltica” cannot be built through the entire city of Riga in this time. ** The head of the Latvian branch of the company “RB Rail”, which is responsible for the design, indicates that the first construction project for the route has now been submitted, but by the end of the year, construction projects for more than 100 kilometers of the route will have been submitted to the customer of the construction work, “European Railways”.
