AB Kauno Tiltai and LTG Infra, an infrastructure company belonging to the LTG Group responsible for the implementation of the international Rail Baltica project in Lithuania, have signed a new contract. Under the contract, the company will build a 24.4 km railway embankment with the necessary engineering structures on the Ramygala–Berčiūnai section.
According to Aldas Rusevičius, CEO of Kauno Tiltai, the company's many years of experience will enable the work to be carried out very smoothly. "The scope of the project dictates the need for bold technical solutions and a fast pace of construction. As part of the Polish railway group, we are confident in taking on this challenge – our technical expertise and international experience strengthen our project management and quality assurance solutions," emphasized A. Rusevičius.
The contract is the largest in the history of Kauno Tiltai.
