According to Primus Derling, "as a result of the implementation of Rail Baltica project, a transportation hub will be established in the center of Riga that is expected to contribute to mobility, security, accessibility of the city, and give new features to Riga connecting visually and functionally the parts of the city that are currently separated by the railway earth bank, and providing a connection between both banks of the Daugava by means of a new railway bridge that will also be used by pedestrians and cyclists."

The Primus Derling team consisted of Partner Kristine Gaigule-Saveja and Senior Associate Andis Ozolins.
