LTG has stated that its analysis indicates the most significant benefits by 2050 will stem from the European Rail Corridor connecting Poland to the Latvian border, known as Rail Baltica. Complementing this major infrastructure project are several other planned high-speed rail connections, including new lines between Kaunas and Klaipėda, as well as between Kaunas and Vilnius. The overarching conclusion drawn from the analysis is the necessity of modernizing the entire existing rail network.
Furthermore, for future investment, the direct branch linking Kaunas to Klaipėda is recommended for priority consideration. According to Arūnas Rumskas, who is currently serving as the acting leader of LTG, the goal is to ensure that residents across Klaipėda, Vilnius, and Kaunas can travel to Europe without the need for transfers. Rumskas addressed journalists on Thursday, clarifying that the development of Rail Baltica, spanning from the Polish border to the Latvian border, establishes a connection beneficial not only to Vilnius but also to Klaipėda.
He added that the comprehensive study incorporates details for two other distinct rail branches. The emphasis remains on creating seamless connectivity across Lithuania. The planned high-speed train services aim to improve regional mobility, positioning the nation’s rail infrastructure for future European travel demands.
The ongoing development of these corridors is crucial for integrating Kaunas and other major hubs into a modernized, efficient transport system.
