Priority Project 6

Railway axis Lyon-Trieste-Divača/Koper-Divača-Ljubljana-Budapest-Ukrainian border

Click map to view enlarged version

 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

 

The railway axis from Lyon to the Ukrainian border is the main east-west passage south of the Alps, connecting the Iberian peninsula with the eastern part of Europe and beyond. The 1,638 km long railway axis is an important high capacity east-west rail axis crossing the Alps between Lyon and Turin. It touches upon four Member States (France, Italy, Slovenia and Hungary), linking important urban areas. It will also deliver an important increase in transport capacity, thus allowing a modal shift from road to rail to be realised in the sensitive mountainous regions it crosses.

 

Laurens Jan Brinkhorst is the European Coordinator for this Priority Project, succeeding Mrs Loyola de Palacio on 5 July 2007.
