RFI High speed rail Palermo-Catania

Mobility

The Project consists of the upgrade of 178 km of the Palermo-Catania railway line, which is part of the Scandinavian-Mediterranean TEN-T Corridor. The project connects the northern and eastern coastal urban areas of Sicily with internal parts of the region. The final objective is the delivery of an electrified double track railway with increased design speed and capacity. The Project, located in Sicily (a less developed region), is expected to reduce journey times and consequently strengthen socio-economic dynamism as well as contributing to the improved accessibility of both urban areas as well as areas of the region far from the coast.
