Name of the Project
Fortezza-Ponte Gardena railway extension.

Location
Italy.

Project Owner/s
Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI).

Project Description
The project involves the design and construction of a 22.5 km high capacity railway that will extend from the Brenner Base tunnel (the longest underground railway connection in the world) between Fortezza and Ponte Gardena.

The project will include underground interconnections and other works for Ponte Gardena. It will also improve the Munich–Verona line by adopting standards that exceed the speed and performance limits of the existing line, which currently obliges trains to travel at relatively slower speeds, especially on inclines.

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Capital Expenditure
€1.07-billion.

Planned Start/End Date
The new railway section is expected to open in 2025.

Latest Developments
None stated.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
Webuild Group (design and construction of the railway).
