Rail Baltica Update: 4+ Years Late, 300% Over-Budget!

In April 2023 I made a video introducing people to the mega infrastructure project known as Rail Baltica. This future high-speed rail network will change how people in Lithuania get to Poland and to Latvia and on to Estonia. It also opens up more opportunities for connecting to other parts of Europe. As I noted in last year’s video, part of Rail Baltica should have been operational THIS year, but things have been pushed back to 2030. So in today’s video I wanted to look at the latest news about this project mostly within LIthuania, and some of the recent hurdles and challenges for the program!
