EDZL, the state-owned organisation established to implement Rail Baltica in Latvia, has awarded the construction design and supervision contract for Riga International Airport’s new railway station and related infrastructure.
The winning party of the international tender was the PROSIV consortium, which is comprised of consultants Sintagma, of Italy, designers Prodex, of Slovakia and engineering firm Vektors, of Latvia.
Valued at €4.5 million, it is the first Rail Baltica construction design and supervision contract signed in the Baltic States.
As part of Rail Baltica, which aims to better integrate the Baltic States within the European railway network, a 4.4km standard gauge railway is to be built from the centre of Riga to the capital city’s airport.
Part of this line, approximately 2km across the airport, will run on a viaduct to a new station at the airport.
