Latvian Railways (Latvijas dzelzceļš) opened the second rail track on the Skrīveri-Krustpils line section within the largest project to date, worth more than EUR 100 million, which will enable a considerable increase in throughput capacity, traffic speed and safety in the direction from Krustpils to Riga.
The construction of a completely new railway infrastructure, which includes a 56 km long rail track, as well as engineering constructions and systems, was performed during the large-scale project. A new bridge was built over the River Aiviekste, which is the first railway bridge to be built after the restoration of Latvia’s independence, the bridge over the River Pērse was reconstructed, and the existing culverts and railway crossings were rebuilt.
