The implementation of the Single Third Pass/Genoa Node/Campasso Project continues with the construction sites which will be concentrated in the summer months.
In this period the new Central Computerized Equipment of Genoa Brignole will be activated, the demolition of the railway viaduct on the Polcevera river will begin as part of the construction activities of the Bivio Fegino – Porto Storico connection and the renewed Campasso Park and the construction of the two new tracks between Genoa Voltri And Genoa Sampierdarena is between Genoa Principe And Genoa Brignole.
Furthermore, a new phase of interventions will be launched with a total value of 84 million euros, also financed with PNRR funds, which will make it possible to improve the regularity of the railway service on the Genoa – Acqui Terme line.
In this phase, the following will be carried out: the renewal and rehabilitation of 12 km of track between Campo Ligure and Ovada, a new underpass with the removal of architectural barriers in the Prasco Cremolino station.
In addition to these interventions, extraordinary maintenance works will be added to the Colla, Pre di Mè, Turchino tunnels and the Roveresso viaduct, as well as further maintenance works on the armament and technological systems. At the same time, upon completion of the ongoing authorization process, the large construction site of the Mele artificial tunnel will begin.
To allow interventions to be carried out continuously and during both day and night time, some lines will be closed to rail traffic during the summer.
The periods were identified with the aim of minimizing the impact on travelers as much as possible by not interfering with the flows of school commuters with inconvenience to a smaller number of travelers on the home-work route compared to the winter periods.
