Contract Signed for €38 Million Reconstruction of Zaķusala TV Tower
A construction contract worth more than €38 million was signed on Thursday for a major overhaul of Riga's Zaķusala television tower, with completion planned for 2029.
The television tower on Zaķusala island in Riga is set for a substantial reconstruction over the coming years. On Thursday, September 10, a contract was signed covering the construction works needed to carry out the project.
Scope and timeline
The signed contract is valued at more than €38 million. Construction is expected to take approximately three years, with the tower's reopening planned for 2029. The redesign is set to include glass cube-shaped elements and new observation areas, which could eventually offer visitors expanded opportunities to take in views of Riga.
Further technical details about the reconstruction, including the tower's future functionality and how the works will affect its operation during the three-year period, have not yet been made public.
