In July 2024, the companies agreed to build the Hagudi–Alu section. Now the deal expands the project, covering new areas.

The contract’s total value reaches $66.5 million, marking a major investment. Completion of 10 kilometers of railway embankment is set for 2026.

Construction of the Sälja–Tootsi section will fully conclude by late 2028. Thus, Estonia strengthens steps toward modernizing its transport network.
