Murcia to Almería High-Speed Railway Line Construction

ongoing

Ferrovial, through its Construction division, has been awarded a contract to build the high-speed rail track-bed between Lorca (province of Murcia) and Pulpí (province of Almería), in Spain, for €171 million. The project consists of building a double-track high-speed track-bed between Pulpí (Almería) and Lorca (Murcia) and includes remodelling the Pulpí and Puerto Lumbreras stations and building a new station at Almendricos. Work will commence in the municipality of Lorca and will re-use 18.6 kilometres of the route of the existing Iberian gauge non-electrified single track line between Lorca and Águilas, while dismantling 20 kilometres of existing line. The work includes construction of the Rincón tunnel and of ten viaducts and bridges of several types with a total length of 1,250 meters, plus another 28 structures. It is scheduled to be completed in 34 months.
