The project envisages the construction of a new line as a variant of the route from Avigliana to the Orbassano transport hub, for a total development of some 24 kilometres, of which about 17 kilometres is in tunnels. Preliminary work is also planned for restoring operation of the Orbassano transport hub along with enhancing the performance of the existing Bussoleno-Avigliana line through technological upgrading, adaptation to the technical specifications of interoperability, the elimination of certain level crossings, the construction of two new signalling controls and the acoustic restoration of the line.
The project has received partial public funding.
Calogero Mauceri was appointed Extraordinary Governmental Commissioner for completion of the works.
