IT’S ONE of the largest new rail projects in Europe,
set to plug a major gap in the continent’s high-speed network.
Over 800km long and running across three countries that have lacked a modern railway since the fall of the Soviet Union,
Rail Baltica is a scheme that’s throwing up some immense challenges.
And as one of the EU’s transport priorities over the course of this decade, the pressure is on to get it right.
Requiring spectacular engineering, advanced technology and world-class design,
it’s that massive scheme by the EU to connect member states with up-to-date infrastructure — mostly rail.
The Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link, Lyon-Turin Railway, Brenner Base Tunnel … they’re all part of it, known for their enormous scale and the countries involved.
But now there’s a new player, rising in the East — well, three of them.
The Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Together, they make up a huge chunk of the North Sea-Baltic Corridor from Antwerp to Helsinki
