Design proposals for section Žeimiai-Šėta will be presented

Spain’s IDOM responsible for the detailed technical design of Rail Baltica section Kaunas-Ramygala will present recommended design proposals in Jonava county on the 21st of December.

The section Šėta-Ramygala is 16,5 km long includes 2 railway and 1 road viaducts, 5 animal passages that will ensure that they will be able to safely cross underneath the railway.

Viaducts will be built at the railway crossings with roads Pagiriai-Vaiškoniai, Žižmiai-Anciškis, and Velžys-Jotainiai-Pagiriai-Šėta. There will be no single level crossings throughout the whole Rail Baltica line to guarantee the security of the railway and people.  

Two local roads will be closed in this section. To cross the railway, people will be able to use 3 road crossings, on average every 4 kilometers in this section. To reduce noise, barriers will be built in Bebrikai and Runeikiai.

The public can get acquainted with design proposals at www.kedainiai.lt or www.railbaltica.org/info. The public hearing will take place online on the 21st of December at 1:00.

The detailed technical design for section Kaunas-Ramygala will be finished in 2021. Lithuanian railways had already begun preparations for the construction services tender. Construction is also expected to begin in 2021.
