Implenia AG and the Italian construction company Webuild have been awarded the contract to plan and build a high-performance railway line between Fortezza and Ponte Gardena in northern Italy. The construction and real estate service provider based in Dietlikon is developing and realizing 49 percent of the project on behalf of Rete Ferroviaria Italiana SpA , the owner of the Italian railway network, according to a media release .
Webuild's project share is 51 percent. The order has a total volume of 1.07 billion euros.
The 22.5-kilometer route connects to the Brenner railway tunnel on the Italian side of the Alps. The largely underground expansion should enable faster connections and higher capacities between Munich and Verona in the future. The passenger and freight trains should be able to travel much faster on the new route. So far, they have been relatively slow on the road due to inclines, the press release said.
In addition to improving mobility and modernizing the infrastructure in northern Italy, the funds made available also serve to create jobs. According to a press release, the project will directly and indirectly create around 15,000 new jobs in the coming years.
"Implenia is proud to be planning and building such an important part of the future European rail network," Christian Späth, head of the civil engineering department at Implenia, is quoted in the Medienmitteling.
