The EU is building a 5.8 billion euro rail network that will help secure the Baltic states and impact the environment. Rail Baltica, a massive planned railway, will provide the first large-scale standard gauge railway in the Baltics, helping connect the regions’ economy to the rest of the EU and western Europe. It will have seven international passenger stations and three multimodal freight terminals to integrate with the current Russian gauge rail system. The railway will provide numerous benefits, including faster commute times, safer travel, better integration with the European Union, job creation, and greater security for the Baltic states. Currently, the railway is still in the design phase but is close to beginning construction. Planned to open to the public between 2028 and 2030, Rail Baltica will transform the region.
