State railway infrastructure manager Eesti Raudtee plans to straighten some of the curvier sections of railroads to cut the trip duration of the Tallinn-Tartu route down to 1.5 hours by 2024. Straightening works require the state to transfer nearly 50 private properties near the railroads, however, and that process can take longer than initially planned.
Eesti Raudtee on aastaid planeerinud Tartu raudteejaama kaldtee ehitamist, et teine perroon kõigile lihtsalt ligipääsetavaks teha. Sel nädalal kuulutati välja hange, ümberehitusega tahetakse alustada sügisest.
Tartu raudteejaama teisele perroonile on ratastooli, lapsekäru või jalgrattaga praegu keeruline saada. Mure lahendamiseks tahetakse perrooni Tallinna-poolset otsa pikendada ja luua kaldtee. See tähendaks ka, et muutub koht, kus reisijad rongi peale lähevad. Eesti Raudtee ehitusteenistuse juht Riho Vjatkin ütles, et kaldtee on kõige kindlam ja lihtsam lahendus. Kui hankemenetlust ei vaidlustada ja muid tõrkeid ei ole, soovime minna septembrist lepingusse, ütles Vjatkin. Ma arvan, et seal saab koheselt töid alustada. Lepingu täitmise tähtaeg on üks aasta ehk siis ideaalsel juhul kuskil järgmise aasta suve keskel on meil täislahendus. Maksumuseks on täna prognoositud 1,5 miljonit eurot.

State-owned railway infrastructure company Estonian Railways (Eesti Raudtee) and Leonhard Weiss OU have entered into a contract for expanding the Balti Jaam central railway station of Tallinn for slightly over â¬3.3 million.
In the framework of the project, two new station tracks will be built at the station complete with platforms, as well as an additional main track built between the Paldiski Road rail bridge and Kitsekula station.
Riho Vjatkin, head of the construction service at Estonian Railways, said the company was extremely pleased to start construction works at a hub so important for the city of Tallinn, as no new station tracks have been built at the central station for decades and the last major reconstructions concerning platforms were performed in 2012.
