Lithuanian railway company Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai (LG) should shortly start rebuilding the 19-km railway stretch from Mazeikiai, northern Lithuania, to the Latvian city of Renge. The line section was dismantled in 2008, which prompted the European Commission to fine LG recently. EC considered that this limited the possibility for Orlen Lietuva to transport freight via Latvian railways.
“It is likely that we will soon start rebuilding the Renge stretch to settle the issue,” LG CEO Mantas Bartuska said. The costs of the rebuilding works were not disclosed. Earlier calculations suggest the investment could reach approx. 20 million euros.
