“The Salerno – Reggio Calabria High Speed Rail Line is a fundamental infrastructure for the relaunch of the South and the modernization of the country. A priority project that guarantees the continuity of a strategic route, for passengers and goods, between the North and the South, between Italy and Europe. For this reason, by virtue of my ministerial delegations to the commissioned works, I follow the ongoing activities with the utmost attention. The interventions, despite the technical complexity and the need to reconcile the needs of the communities, are proceeding in line with the expected times, thus allowing the delivery of lot 1a Battipaglia – Romagnano to the territory and the country by 2026”. This was stated in a note by the Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Transport, Tullio Ferrante, who met with the investment director of RFI, Eng. Lucio Menta.
“The work, divided into functional lots, will guarantee access to the high-speed / high-capacity railway system to various territories with a strong tourist and productive vocation – adds the undersecretary – with a view to providing the entire country with an infrastructure that is essential for growth and competitiveness. During the meeting, an update was also made on the progress of the activities regarding the enhancement, with high-speed characteristics, of the Taranto – Metaponto – Potenza – Battipaglia railway line and the new Ferrandina – Matera La Martella railway line for connecting Matera to the national railway network, for which the forecast is to respect the expected timescales in line with the Pnrr”.
