The Latvian application for the Rail Baltica project was prepared in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, Eiropas Dzelzceļa līnijas (European Railwy Lines, EDzL), and RB Rail AS.
Funding of 50% of the eligible costs of the project has been granted to Rail Baltica for the first round of construction work and construction supervision of the combined road and railway bridge over the River Daugava.
"The combined bridge over River Daugava is one of the most complicated Rail Baltica railway infrastructure objects and plays an important role in the connectivity of the Baltic States with Europe," said release from the Ministry of Defense.
The signing of the agreement on financing priority activities of the Rail Baltica project in Latvia is expected in June this year.
