Modernization of the line Brno-Přerov, 4th construction, section Nezamyslice - Kojetín

ongoing

"The project addresses the upgrade and double tracking of a 9.212 km railway section Nezamyslice - Kojetín in Czechia. This section forms part of the railway line Brno-Přerov, located on the cross-border link Katowice/Opole – Ostrava – Brno of the Baltic Sea - Adriatic Sea European Transport Corridor. The construction of a new cut and cover rail tunnel Němčice represents an important part of the construction works. The project also includes the elaboration of the design documentation and construction of a new Nezamyslice traction substation. The project is part of the Global Project ""Section Katowice – Ostrava – Přerov – Brno – Břeclav – Vienna” and is related to the construction of the planned high-speed rail network in Czechia. It represents a segment of the future high speed line connection Brno - Přerov – Ostrava. The project is one of the five foreseen constructions on the railway section Brno – Přerov, which aims to double-track the line and increase its maximum speed from the current 90 km/h to 200 km/h. The existing single-track line and its obsolete railway infrastructure do not have sufficient capacity to meet the needs of the intense long-distance rail transport on the Brno– Přerov railway line. The overall objectives of the project are: - to increase the competitiveness of railway transport by shortening the travel time, - to increase the line capacity and remove the bottleneck on the cross-border section, - to increase the quality of the line operation, - to improve the safety and comfort of passengers. The specific objectives of the project include mainly: - the upgrade and double tracking of a 9.212 km railway section Nezamyslice – Kojetín to increase the capacity and speed for long-distance and regional rail transport, - the elaboration of the design documentation and construction of a new Nezamyslice traction substation to ensure sufficient and efficient power supply for the reconstructed railway section and adjacent line sections. The project is complementary to the project 23-CZ-TC-ERTMS Nez-Koj (ERTMS - Modernization of the line Brno-Přerov, 4th construction, section Nezamyslice – Kojetín) which covers the implementation of GSM - R, ETCS and interlockings on the Nezamyslice – Kojetín railway line."
