February 11, 2022
The AdSP recalled that in 2011 the Doric airport was equipped with a new infrastructure of connection with the network national rail intended for commercial traffic and which in the darsena Marche there is a bundle of five tracks of 280 meters in length used for unloading and loading operations of trains. In 2021, 419 infrastructure operations were handled railway wagons for the transport of grain and ferrous material, with a future growth trend. To respond to the expected increase in activity, the institution has provided for the extension of the bundle of tracks to support the infrastructure railway to reach an operating length of 650 meters about so that trains currently running on the network national railway, with convoys of at least 550 lengths meters, can access the port area of Ancona intended for merchant trade.
The port authority has specified that the first functional excerpt of the intervention, part of the three-year public works programme of the AdSP approved last October by the Management Committee, will be started this year with the realization of preparatory works and essential for the lengthening of the tracks, i.e. the displacement of the customs crossing and the reorganization of the current circulation road in the port area concerned. By 2023 it will be started the extension of the bundle of the tracks. The investment total, with funds from the AdSP, will be 4.3 million euro, including a share of resources derived from the Community fund Connecting Europe Facility.
The port authority has also specified that, always on the subject of intermodality, documentation is being examined received in response to the call for tenders for the issue of the concession of rail services for commercial traffic in the port of Ancona and the movement of railway wagons on the tracks ports that closed last Monday (
of 27 December 2021).
