Ljubljana junction: preparation of project documentation for the upgrade of railway sections and stations in Ljubljana

The Action includes elaboration of design documentation for the part of the Ljubljana Hub between the Ljubljana Šiška station, the main Ljubljana Railway Station, the Ljubljana Moste and Ljubljana Zalog station; including tracks between them. A serious bottleneck has been identified in this area, which needs to be eliminated.

Ljubljana Hub is the most important railway hub at the national level and very important within the core TEN-T network. Baltic-Adriatic and Mediterranean corridors of the core TEN-T network run through it.

The goal of the Action is to produce design documentation, which is a condition for the start of the main works for the reconstruction and upgrading of the bottleneck on the railway infrastructure between the Ljubljana Šiška station, the main Ljubljana Railway Station, the Ljubljana Moste and Ljubljana Zalog station. The goal of this Action and Global project is to increase the capacity of the railway line, to enable axle load of D4 Category (22,5 t/axle) for freight transport, higher speed and to provide for the possibility of transporting 740 m long trains for freight transport and to enable standards as required by regulation on TSI.
