The works involve the implementation of two projects in the Augusta area. The first project concerns the construction of a variant for the Messina–Syracuse line around the town centre of Augusta. Plans are in place to build a new station located outside the town centre, in a new development area.

The second phase forms part of the expansion project for the Augusta Commercial Port and involves the construction of a railway link connecting the new railway yard to the main rail network.

The project is fully funded, including through NRRP funds.
