The project, divided into two main phases, involves works on the Venice – Trieste line aimed at upgrading the technology along the Mestre – Ronchi Sud section and removing certain level crossings, and works on the line’s engineering structures, resulting in an increase in the line’s speed limit to 200 km/h for P-class trains, two new Shunting Yards, track variants at Portogruaro, Latisana, n the River Isonzo and between Ronchi dei Legionari and Aurisina.
The benefits of the project for commuters and tourists will include shorter journey times, increased capacity and service regularity. Furthermore, the improvement in the line’s performance in terms of long-distance traffic will enable the line to be brought into line with European freight corridor standards.
The project has received partial public funding, including NRRP funds.
Aldo Isi was appointed Government Commissioner for the completion of the works.
