The project involves significant infrastructure and technological upgrades along the Rome–Pescara line, divided into several phases and aimed at improving transport links between Lazio and Abruzzo. The works to double the track, increase the speed and upgrade the line will reduce journey times from the current 3 hours and 20 minutes to around 2 hours.
The project has received partial public funding.
Aldo Isi was appointed Extraordinary Government Commissioner for the completion of the works.
