Preparation for construction of second track, upgrade and modernisation on the Škrljevo-Rijeka-Jurdani railway section
Overview
Background & policy context:
The action covers the upgrading of the railway line section Škrljevo-Rijeka-Jurdani, a current bottleneck on the Croatian part of the Mediterranean corridor. The action is a part of a Global project aimed at upgrading and re-constructing the Škrljevo-Rijeka-Jurdani railway section.
Objectives:
The action includes several activities, from the preparation of the feasibility study to the finalisation of the final design, including preliminary design, cost-benefit analysis and environmental impact assessment.
In the long run, the action will better connect Rijeka with Croatia's inland and the entire European transport system, thus stimulating economic and employment growth. It will also reduce congestion and pollution through shift from road to rail.
Methodology:
The action will pave the way to the construction of a second track and to the upgrade of the Škrljevo-Rijeka-Jurdani section, including the deployment of new signalling and interlocking equipment on the Jurdani-Šapjane section, and the reconstruction of Permani stop and Šapjane station.
