The Estonian Technical Regulatory Authority (TTJA) has issued permits for the construction of the depot for rolling stock in Ülemiste, Tallinn, and the construction of Rail Baltica railway tracks spanning 6.6 kilometers from Ülemiste to the Rae/Soodaevaha station.

The railway section will traverse from the Harju County capital district of Lasnamäe to the village of Soodaevaha in the Rae parish.

The Ülemiste depot is intended for servicing the passenger rolling stock of the Rail Baltica line with a track gauge of 1435 millimeters (for train component repairs and maintenance).

The depot will comprise eight railway tracks, service platforms, and a depot building.

The construction permit covers a 6.6-kilometer section, with 4.8 kilometers falling under the construction contract between Rail Baltic Estonia and joint contractors, TREV-2 Grupp and AllSpark.
