Approved of the new tracing of the railway line to high Trieste-Divaccia speed



Today to Trieste the Intergovernmental Commission Italian-Slovene has approved of the study of feasibility of the new railway connection to high Trieste-Divaccia speed. "Draft - the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports has explained, Altero Matteoli - of a new more linear tracing and less impattante on the environmental plan. Now it will be possible in a short time to start the planning of a strategic work from all considered". The minister has specified that approved of varying, called "High Corridor", is worth about 1,3 billion euros, the minor cost regarding all the other examined progettuali hypotheses.

The new tracing is developed for 12 kilometers about in the territory Italian and about nine kilometers in that Slovene. On the railway draft the 250 trains will be able to reach km/h. The planning of the project previews the completion of the activities of planning (preliminary, definitive and executive) at the end of 2015, from when the first yards of the work can be under way.

Satisfaction for the approval is expressed by the city council member to the Practicability and Transports of the Friuli Venice Julia, Riccardo Riccardi. "The Region - it has remembered - strongly is engaged so that the Trieste-Divaccia, one of the fundamental parts of priority Project 6, from France towards Budapest and the border Hungarian-Ukrainian, come finally started, give to effective answer to the requirement to put again the Friuli Venice Julia to the center of Europe".

"The action of the regional administration - it has continued the city council member Riccardi - today sees to realize the most important result. We are successful in these years to change a tracing torturous, that of the 2008, ambientalmente impattante one - considered the first hypothesis of the passage under the Val Rosandra - and decidedly too much along in order guaranteeing a fast connection between the two Countries. The solution of 2008 now previewed 36 kilometers of tracing with a very high slope (also of a 17 per thousand) and average speed of 160 kilometers/. The today's study of feasibility reduces instead the tracing to 21 kilometers, of which 12 in the province of Trieste, with a smaller speed in the interconnections, and greater in the free features, and a slope of 12,5 the per thousand one. The line therefore now is very more apt to serve our harbour system and to favor the investments private publics and. Between the proposed solutions, then, that characterized between Italy and Slovenia turns out less expensive, a choice in charge of control of the costs". "The Region - it has added - have not lost a cent resources EU having respected times and expirations indicated from the EU".

"I wish to thank the minister of Altero Matteoli Transports and the civil employees of its ministry - it has concluded Riccardi - in order to have once again comprised and given followed to our efforts: it has been a job of team, that it has involved the institutions of the triestine province and the Slovenian authorities, in a position to giving sure its yields. The GEIE, the European Group of economic Interest that will be constituted in the short possible time, and all the proposing subjects, will have the task now to illustrate at best the validity of this tracing and the Region will make own part continuing to interlocuire, as it has up to here always made, with the truths of the territory for recepire opinions and observations so as to supply to the technicians all in the next few months the indications considered useful for the development of the preliminary project".
