Description
The project, being undertaken on behalf of RFI Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, consists of the “executive design and contracted execution of the works for the construction of the Railway Link to Venice Airport” and is outlined in a new double-track railway line of about 8 km, of which 3.4 km will be in a tunnel, that will connect the existing main Venice-Trieste railway line with Marco Polo International Airport.
The new railway infrastructure, will run alongside the highway link road approaching the Airport through a tunnel, where it is planned to build a two-track underground station connected to the airport terminal. Benefiting from this strategic project will be a local supply chain of more than 300 suppliers, subcontractors and operators.
