BRESCIA-VERONA SECTION

Italferr is involved in the project to build the new Brescia-Verona-Padova High Speed/High Capacity railway line, which is part of the Milan-Venice HS/HC axis. The work is of strategic importance both nationally and in Europe. In fact, it is one of the pieces of the 'Mediterranean' Core Corridor that will connect the ports of the south of the Iberian Peninsula to Eastern Europe, passing through the south of France, Northern Italy and Slovenia. The project will increase the supply of high-speed, regional and freight transport along the Milan-Venice horizontal backbone, ensuring better separation of traffic flows that would result in increased capacity and regularity of service, reduced travel time and increased frequency of trains.

New Brescia-Verona HS/HC line
Line length: 47.6 Km
Max speed: 250 km/h
Electrification: 3 kV
Technologies: ERTMS L2

The new HS/HC Brescia-Verona-Padua section will consist in a quadrupling of the current infrastructure, allowing the transit of fast trains with shortened travel time between Milan and Venice Santa Lucia. There will be an increase in capacity and regularity of traffic, also resulting from the specialisation of services (separation of traditional traffic from HS flow) thus also allowing an improvement in the regional transport system.
