In the middle of September Skonto Būve Ltd. has finished work in frames of the project “Stage 5 of Expansion of the Passenger Terminal at SJSC Riga International Airport – Phase 1 of Construction of the Northern Pier”.

Stage 5 of Expansion of the Passenger Terminal at SJSC Riga International Airport included the construction of a building dimension (building) – Northern Pier with the stationary part of the passenger bridge, which was built at a distance of 240 m from the current pier building, as well as construction of the linking gallery, which connects the pier with the existing complex of terminal buildings.

Stage 5 of expansion of the terminal–aircraft pier building project has been divided into two phases of building works.

During Phase 1 of Construction of the Northern Pier, which was implemented by Skonto Būve Ltd., all constructive elements of the building were built, including the exterior finishing as well as construction of a part of the territory, the interior finishing of the gallery building, and adaptation thereof for the temporary functions according to the needs of the airport. 

A bypass road was built around the Northern Pier, as well as the main northbound service road along the linking gallery, which continues up to the cargo terminal area. This service road ensures the servicing of aircraft stands at the new pier, as well as in the territory to the north from the pier.

The principal functions of the pier building will include servicing of outbound and inbound passengers – ensuring the process of boarding and disembarking.
