Rail Disruptions Continue Due to Overhaul Delays

Passengers utilizing several key rail lines will experience continued disruptions this Friday, following a prolonged delay in the completion of work at the Palupera-Puka railway station. Originally slated for conclusion by Friday morning, the overhaul project has been extended due to unforeseen circumstances. GoTrack, the contractor responsible for the work, informed AS Eesti Raudtee of the need for additional tasks.

As a result, passengers on the Tartu-Valga, Tallinn-Tartu-Riga, and Tallinn-Tartu-Riga-Vilnius lines will continue to rely on bus replacements for the Elva-Valga section. The delay is primarily attributed to challenging weather conditions. Deteriorated access roads have hampered the transportation of materials to the site, significantly impacting the progress of the overhaul.

This situation affects travel for those connecting through Tartu and Valga. Officials are working to minimize further delays and anticipate a revised timeline for the project’s completion. Passengers are advised to check for the latest updates regarding service changes.
