Elimination of bottlenecks on railway line Ljubljana–Divača

ongoing

The project addresses the upgrade of the railway infrastructure at three railway stations (Brezovica, Vnanje Gorice, Preserje), as well as the construction of two power substations in Borovnica and Postojna, and an underpass in Postojna. The project is part of Global Project covering the upgrade of the railway line Ljubljana-Divača located on the Baltic-Adriatic and the Mediterranean Core Network Corridors. With the ongoing growth of traffic, the railway line is becoming increasingly saturated, and with the opening of the new 2nd track between Divača and Koper, a significant increase in freight transport on the entire Divača-Ljubljana section can be expected. Interventions for upgrading the infrastructure to TEN-T core network requirements are therefore necessary. The main objective of the project is to improve the technical parameters of the railway infrastructure, namely: • speed of freight trains 100 km/h • maximum possible length of trains of 740 m • axle load of at least 22.5 t • increasing the throughput and transport capacity of the railway line • increasing the level of traffic safety • improving reliability of electricity supply • ensuring interoperability and compliance with the TSI requirements The implementation of the project and achievement of the above objectives will contribute to improvements in terms of capacity, safety, performance and efficiency of the railway line, which will also have positive socio-economic effects and impacts on environment.
