Installation of facade and roof glazing has begun at the new Riga Central Station
In the southern part of the new Riga Central Station building, installation of facade and roof glazing has begun. Final glass installation works in passenger canopy structures above the platforms have also started. It is planned that the glazing works will take approximately 3 – 4 months, depending on weather conditions. As a result, the station building will increasingly take on its intended architectural form, previously seen only in visualizations. The total glazing area of the new station building is 1,500 m².
“This is an important construction stage in the southern part of the Rail Baltica Riga Central Station building, which will significantly transform the station’s visual identity and mark its transition into a modern, European-level transport hub. Full railway system construction will continue in the coming years. It is planned that train traffic will be able to fully use the southern part of the station from summer 2028, while the connection with the Rail Baltica station at the airport is planned for the end of 2029,” said Jānis Naglis, Board Member of SIA “Eiropas Dzelzceļa līnijas,” the national implementer of Rail Baltica in Latvia.
