Salerno – Reggio Calabria High Speed Rail, Lot 1A Battipaglia-Romagnano

Fully funded by PNRR, the project includes the construction of a new high-speed railway line on the Salerno-Reggio Calabria route. This is a strategic route for passenger and freight transport in the connection between the north and south of Italy. Our operations will lead to improvements of the railway system that will enable a significant increase 
in passenger traffic, including better links to Sicily. Ghella will contribute to construction of the section between Battipaglia and Romagnano (Section 1A).This section covers the design and construction of around 35 km of railway, 
with trains reaching speeds of up to 300 km/h. Approximately 18 km of the route will be underground, including 8 cut-and-cover tunnels, 11 natural tunnels, and 19 viaducts. Four TBMs will be used for excavation. A junction at Romagnano will connect the new line to the existing historic railway alignment. 

Benefits

1. Infrastructural development and sustainable mobility in the South. 
2. Travel time from Rome to Reggio Calabria will be reduced to four hours.  
3. Increased freight traffic connection to the port of Gioia Tauro.  
4. Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
