Lithuania’s infrastructure and building company HISK has won an EUR 83.4 million euro (without VAT) contract to install a 12.1-kilometre section of the European-gauge Rail Baltica railway between Seta and Ramygala along the Kaunas-Panevezys line.

This is the second contract which LTG Infra has awarded to the company. LTG Infra is the infrastructure arm of the state-owned Lithuanian Railways (LTG) group.

LTG Infra announced on Monday that it had signed the agreement with HISK after it won in a public bid for tenders.

Under the terms of the contract, HISK will also upgrade three key regional roads, the drainage infrastructure, a gas pipeline which crosses the railway embankment and power distribution grids. It will also install noise-protection barriers.

The work is due to be completed by the first quarter of 2027.

Eurovia Lithuania, a French-owned road construction company and its Czech partner, Eurovia CZ, were earlier awarded a contract worth EUR 11.8 million (with VAT) by LTF Infra to build the first 17.1-kilometre track between Seta and Ramygala.

The European-gauge track from the Lithuanian-Polish border has already been installed, and it is being used for military mobility. LTG Cargo transports freight from other parts of Europe.
