How much does Rail Baltica cost?

Rail Baltica is a new standard-gauge (1,435 mm) electrified railway of about 870 km running from Tallinn in Estonia through Latvia to the Lithuanian-Polish border (213 km in Estonia, 265 km in Latvia and 392 km in Lithuania), part of the North Sea-Baltic Corridor of the EU's TEN-T network. The European Court of Auditors reported in March 2025 that the first, single-track phase would cost EUR 15.3 billion and the whole project EUR 23.8 billion, against EUR 5.8 billion in 2017, with the first phase scheduled for 2030.
