Terminal. Works started at the end of August 2025, and today activities are underway along the entire construction section of nearly one kilometre. The project is technically complex and logistically demanding, with construction taking place alongside active railway operations and urban traffic.
By the end of this year, we will complete approximately 5,000 m³ of various concrete structures on site. Our scope includes retaining walls, pedestrian and tram tunnels, substations and other technical facilities, as well as multiple reinforced concrete structures. Preparatory works for platform construction are also ongoing. Before Christmas, we will cast the roof slab of the connection tunnel linking Ülemiste City with Tallinn city centre, which simultaneously functions as the railway bridge deck.
The Ülemiste Terminal will become a major international transport hub, connecting the Rail Baltica high-speed railway with Estonia’s domestic Edelaraudtee rail network. The terminal is scheduled for completion in 2028. Construction works are carried out while freight traffic and regular Edelaraudtee services remain operational, and Ülemiste station continues to function throughout the construction period. This places high demands on planning accuracy and safety management.
The site is located in one of Tallinn’s busiest traffic areas—between the city’s two largest shopping centres and in close proximity to the Ülemiste City business district. Traffic intensity is particularly high during the holiday season, with heavy rail, road and pedestrian flows intersecting daily.
We have been making good progress with the works thanks to the dedicated work of Maru Betoonitööd’s experienced engineers and site managers, as well as the strong cooperation with the site teams of main contractors KMG Infra and Merko, with whom the works were thoroughly prepared well in advance.
The Ülemiste Terminal will become a new landmark in Tallinn’s cityscape and a key international transport node. The architectural design by Zaha Hadid Architects (UK) sets high aesthetic and technical requirements for the concrete structures. We are constructing exposed concrete surfaces in accordance with the precise requirements of the architects and the Rail Baltica, taking into account formwork layouts, tie-hole patterns and the integration of concrete surfaces with façade and steel structures.
