Verona–Padua high-speed railway line project, Italy
Name of the Project
Verona–Padua high-speed railway line project.
Location
The railway line will cross the provinces of Verona, Vicenza and Padua, forming part of the Verona–Venice line, in Italy.
Client
Iricav Due Consortium, in which Salini Impregilio has a 27.27% share.
Project Description
The project aims to quadruple the capacity of the entire Verona–Padua railway line, including relocating the old line where the two tracks are very close to each other.
The new high-speed, double-track line is about 76.5 km long, of which about 36 km is alongside the old line.
The first phase involves the construction of 44.25 km of high-speed/high-capacity railway line, of which 35.66 km will run on open ground, 6.23 km on viaducts and 2.38 km through artificial tunnels.
The new line will pass through the following stations: Verona Porta Vescovo, San Bonifacio, Lonigo, Montebello Vicentino, Vicenza, Lerino, Grisignano di Zocco, Mestrino, Rubano, and Padua.
The Verona–Padua section is part of major infrastructure planning at Italian and European level, forming an integral part of the east–west Turin–Milan–Venice line, which, in turn, is a component of the Mediterranean Corridor of the Trans-European Transport Network.
