Description

The project (a major project allocation under the Croatian Co-financing EU IPA ISPA 2007-2011 SPL) involves the construction of a second track and the reconstruction of the 38.2 km entire railway line section. It will also include reconstruction of the existing stations Dugo Selo, Vrbovec and Krizevci and pertaining stops, construction of a new station, Gradec, removal of level crossings and construction of grade-separated crossings with roads, upgrade of the fixed electric traction installations and modernisation of signalling and interlocking and telecommunication equipment.

Objectifs

The project contributes to the objective of promoting sustainable transport, as increased rail usage with a shift from road will reduce road traffic emissions and road traffic accidents. In particular, it will improve the quality and competitiveness of cargo transport by rail, reduce travel times for passenger rail services, develop interoperability of railways, increase safety and minimise environmental impact. The project will also promote EU objectives in economic and social cohesion as it is located in a convergence area and runs on the Mediterranean TEN-T core network corridor.
