<\/a>New Riga Central Station completes its southern glass fa\u00e7ade and roof as work advances on three platforms and internal systems.\nA 1,500 m\u00b2 envelope designed for Latvian winters<\/p>\n
Rail Baltica\u2019s official construction update<\/a>\u2060 puts the completed glazed area at 1,500 square metres. The fa\u00e7ade combines glass structures and architectural details with mounting points for fire-protection equipment and industrial rope-access maintenance.<\/p>\n The fa\u00e7ade and roof glazing units were manufactured in Italy and underwent load and quality testing there. The tests covered exposure to air and water as well as mechanical impact, confirming that the structures meet the durability requirements for Latvia\u2019s climate, including severe winters.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss\u2026New Melton Station Opens With Four Elevated Platforms<\/a><\/p>\n Three platforms complete main construction<\/p>\n Main construction on the three new passenger platforms finished in June 2026. Access routes are in place, and lifts at both ends of each platform provide direct access from ground level.<\/p>\n New canopies run along the platform area to the Timoteja Street entrance and exit, with glazed details that connect their design to the station building. Platform surfaces use European-made porcelain tiles with an R11 slip-resistance rating. They are intended for outdoor use and provide grip in dry and wet conditions, while their durability and low maintenance requirements suit areas with heavy passenger traffic.<\/p>\n Inside the station, finishing work continues alongside the integration of engineering equipment, safety systems and utility networks. BERERIX has also started work on the southern square and adjacent paving; planting and landscaping are scheduled when seasonal conditions allow.<\/p>\n Funding and commissioning remain separate milestones<\/p>\n
