Wedoany.com Report-Oct. 25, LTG Infra, a subsidiary of the LTG Group, has finalized two construction contracts for the Rail Baltica project, extending active construction in Lithuania to 114 kilometers. These agreements, valued at €375.8 million ($437 million) including VAT, mark significant progress in the development of this major railway initiative aimed at enhancing regional connectivity.

Kauno Tiltai and HISK secured the new contracts pertaining to the Rail Baltica project.

The first contract, awarded to Kauno Tiltai, covers the construction of a 24.4-kilometer railway embankment and related infrastructure on the Ramygala–Berčiūnai section. Valued at €248.9 million, it includes building eight railway bridges, three viaducts, two animal crossings, a green bridge, and upgrading four public road sections. The second contract, assigned to HISK, involves constructing a 12.3-kilometer embankment and engineering works between Berčiūnai and Joniškėlis, featuring three railway viaducts, a bridge, 19 culverts and animal crossings, over 1 kilometer of noise barriers, and improvements to two nationally significant roads.

To celebrate this milestone, the Lithuanian Ministry of Transport and Communications, in partnership with LTG Group, will place a signpost near Panevėžys, marking the completion of this phase. The Rail Baltica project, coordinated with RB Rail and other partners, has now engaged over 200 contracts with collaborators from more than 20 countries, reflecting its broad international scope.

“LTG Infra has successfully achieved its annual objective of expanding construction activities,” said LTG Group CEO Egidijus Lazauskas. “This means that, compared to last year, we will invest twice as much in European funds, and we anticipate continued growth in the coming years, as construction between Kaunas and Panevėžys intensifies.”

HISK has secured three Rail Baltica contracts this year, covering the Šėta–Ramygala (12.1 kilometers), Kaunas (Palemonas)–Šveicarija (8.5 kilometers), and Berčiūnai–Joniškėlis (12.3 kilometers) sections. “Being entrusted with the implementation of three Rail Baltica sections reflects our team’s commitment and professionalism in delivering this strategic project for Lithuania,” said HISK CEO Robertas Ziminskis. “We continue to prepare intensively and are committed to ensuring smooth project execution while creating long-term value for Lithuania and the entire Baltic region.”

Additionally, design work continues for the Lithuanian–Polish border to Kaunas (Jiesia) section, funded jointly by the European Union and Lithuania’s state budget. In September, Rail Baltica awarded a €1.77 billion ($2.07 billion) contract to COBELEC Rail Baltica, a joint venture of Spanish companies Cobra Instalaciones y Servicios and Elecnor Servicios y Proyectos, for the design and construction of the electrification subsystem.

The Rail Baltica project strengthens connectivity across the Baltic region, fostering economic growth and sustainable transport. By expanding infrastructure and integrating advanced engineering, it supports long-term development goals for Lithuania and its neighbors, ensuring efficient and environmentally conscious travel options.
