The Salacgriva Regional Council, the Transport Ministry and the Environmental Protection and Regional Development Ministry have not managed to reach an agreement on where the route of the Rail Baltica high-speed rail line through the Salacgriva Region will be constructed.
Representatives from the Transport Ministry intend to submit to the government a route which does not go through the region’s Natura 2000 protected area. They added that this would also lead to losing the EUR 4 mln allocated for research and analysis activities on finding the most suitable Rail Baltica route.
The Salacgriva Regional Council wants to consult with environmental specialists before making a decision.
