The project, first approved in 2010 but halted by the financial crisis, involves a 254-kilometer line crossing 57 municipalities. The update has a budget of 5.46 million euros and a timeframe of 18 months.
Key locations like Igualada, Manresa, and Vic will feature stations on this mixed-use line. Passenger trains are expected to reach speeds of 250 km/h, significantly reducing travel times across the territory.
“"If it had been executed two decades ago, many of the problems we currently have in the network would not exist."
The Generalitat aims to begin the bidding process and start construction by 2030, working alongside the Spanish Ministry of Transport to ensure network compatibility.
