They began in Cerea, in the province of Verona, the works that will lead to the suppression of three level crossings on the Verona – Legnago – Rovigo railway linelocated on Via Isolella Bassa and Vicolo San Zeno.
“With an investment of 17.5 million euros, 7 of which financed by the Region, one of the interventions planned for the redevelopment of the Rovigo – Verona railway line begins today. The work is part of a broader program of interventions thanks to an agreement signed with RFI in July 2017 which provided for the allocation of 117.6 million euros, 45 million of which were financed by the Region. An investment and important design work as part of the process of renewing the railway network undertaken for some years for the performance and functional improvement of the Venetian infrastructural heritage, and implemented in synergy with the local administrations”. This was stated by the vice-president of the Veneto Region and councilor for infrastructure and transport, Elisa De Berti, present in Cerea.
The intervention, organized by the Italian railway network, the leading company of the infrastructure hub of the FS Italiane region group, will see the construction of an underpass approximately 350 meters longwhich will pass under the railway line and which will be completed by the construction of the complementary road system, which will develop parallel to the railway line for approximately 650 metres.
“From September Rovigo – Verona will be managed by Trenitalia – concluded the vice president – Furthermore, the first hybrid trains will enter service at the end of the year in 2025, once the electrification of the Adria-Mestre is completed, we will have further convoys for increasingly better travel conditions. Furthermore, we will shortly open technical discussions with RFI and the Municipalities interested in the electrification of the Cerea-Isola della Scala and, therefore, of the entire line between Verona and Legnago. A program of interventions undertaken for some years to improve the efficiency, safety and accessibility of the railway network”.
