It’s one of the largest new rail projects in Europe. Extending over 800-kilometres, Rail Baltica will connect Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania with their first high-speed line.These nations have been lacking a modern railway since the fall of the Soviet Union, and the scheme is a key priority for the EU. With stations designed by world-leading architects and hundreds of bridges to build, this is the Baltics’ biggest project for 100 years.
The $260M landmark first welcomed visitors in 2019, but has been closed since 2021 after several people tragically died by suicide at the structure.
Speaking to Bloomberg, sources said that officials now expect just 2.4 kilometres to have been constructed by 2030.
If approved and constructed, the 241-metre tower would be the third tallest skyscraper in the UK.
