Riga Central Multimodal Public Transport Hub

The AECOM preliminary design integrates the Rail Baltica route with Riga’s city center. A new pair of 1,435mm wide tracks runs adjacent to the existing 1,520mm wide railway infrastructure. Significant alterations include a new railway bridge, the excavation of an existing embankment forming a new elevated track, and a new multimodal passenger station. Additionally, this redevelopment project presents the opportunity to rethink the entire public transport node of the city in terms of mobility, accessibility, connectivity, and public space. Final spatial and tectonic solutions will be refined via a design competition in 2016.
