Three stations, five bridges and four overpasses will be built on the section that crosses the urban area of Timișoara.Lot 3 belongs to a project to extend the Rhine - Danube Corridor of the Trans - European Transport Network (TEN - T), which aims to increase traffic speed and capacity along the Caransebes - Timişoara - Arad railway between Bucharest and Timisoara. As a result of the project, passenger trains will be able to move at speeds up to 160 km/h, and freight trains – up to 120 km/h.
