"We aim to contribute to Lithuania's military mobility by increasing the loading and unloading capacity for civilian/military cargo at Kaunas Palemonas railway station. Kaunas is currently the furthest (northernmost) point in Lithuania connected to the European rail network. Freight transported along the North Sea-Baltic Corridor includes military freight of vital importance to the common security and training of NATO forces. By implementing this project and increasing the handling capacity, we will create additional benefits for the country's businesses," says Rūta Jakubauskienė, Acting CEO of LTG Infra.
The project involves the reconstruction and installation of a dual-purpose military and civil loading bay pavement of approximately 25,000 m², reinforcing the pavement and adapting it to withstand the expected weight of 120 tonnes. It also includes the construction of railway tracks, the installation of noise attenuation walls and the rehabilitation and installation of utilities.

This project, along with the capacity extension of the Palemonas siding adjacent to the loading bay and the construction of three additional tracks, will enable vehicles to access the site on a narrow gauge track and to carry out the necessary manoeuvring and a smooth loading process. A 1.5 km stretch of Palemono Street is to be reconstructed for easy interaction with the road network.
Currently, the loading of military vehicles, oversized and bulk cargo is carried out at the Šeštokai railway terminal near the Polish border. Cargo continues to be transported by road to destinations in Lithuania.
