Железнодорожные подходы к морскому порту Мууга

Muuga Port is a commercial sea port in Estonia on the shores of the Muuga Bay, which is part of the Gulf of Finland. It was built in 1986 to transport grain crops to the USSR; in the future, it was also planned to build an oil terminal.

For the new port, Lengiprotrans completed the design of an access road, a port station and an abutment station. Connecting routes were designed from Lagedi and Ülemiste stations to Maardu station and further to the new Muuga pre-port station with an exit from it to the port. The total volume of track laying is 38 km.

Muuga station was built on a free territory along the bay, however, laying the routes of railway approaches to it within the urban development required multivariate study and coordination with city organizations.
