🆕 Rail Baltica, the largest infrastructure project ever in the Baltics, is connecting the Baltic States to rest of Europe by high-speed train 🚄 Built to the latest European standards, it will more than double current top train speeds in the region and incorporate modern technologies, designed for both passenger and freight rail transport. The railway will run for almost 900 km through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and continue through Poland, linking the Baltic States directly to the rest of the EU rail network. Once completed, it will connect major cities including Tallinn, Pärnu, Riga, Panevėžys, Kaunas, Vilnius and Warsaw. Rail Baltica will be fully electrified and cut travel times in half, making commuting faster, sustainable and more convenient. The #EU strongly supports Rail Baltica, providing around 85% financing to #CEFTransport projects’ budget selected for funding. Read more in our project story ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dWKE8pkz
