After years of delays, construction on the 870-kilometre railway line through Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia is now gathering momentum. The Rail Baltica project is building one of the most modern high-speed lines in Europe. With the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, using the new NATO-standard line for military purposes is becoming increasingly important.
Europe is growing together—and so is its cross-border transport infrastructure. Nine EU main transport corridors are to be completed by 2030 according to the European Commission's plan. The Baltic states are important for connecting the North Sea to the Baltic Sea, but also for the north-south corridors to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
