The loading capacity of the tracks is increased from UIC category D3 to category D4, which is common throughout much of Europe and allows for 22.5t/axle.

Based on a statement issued by the competent Authority, the project is not likely to have significant effects on Natura 2000 sites. Nevertheless, significant investment (6.3% of budget, approximately EUR 3.9 million) has been made for minimising or compensating negative environmental impacts.
