Works for construc on of new high speed line between Kundl/Radfeld and

Baumkirchen2007-AT-01130-P • Part of Priority Project 1

MAP Review

This project looks at a new double track high speed rail line for freight and passenger traffi c between Kundl/Radfeld and Baumkirchen in the Lower Inn Valley, a bo leneck of Priority Project 1 (Railway axis Berlin-Verona/Milano-Bologna-Napoli-

Messina-Palermo).

It will contribute to the sec on Munich-Verona by providing the northern access to the Brenner Base Tunnel between Austria and Italy. Posi ve eff ects of removing the bo leneck include a reduc on in journey mes, contribu on to the shi from road to rail freight traffi c and consequent reduc on of road conges on in the Alpine region.

The project concerns 40 km of new double track construc on suitable for high speed rail, including 32 km of tunnels, walls, galleries and underground sec ons that take all necessary environmental and noise protec on measures into account. It also includes construc on works in the tunnels, underground and open sec ons.

The Mid-Term evalua on confi rmed that the project has made very good progress so far. It is therefore expected that the project will be completed by 2013, or even ahead of planning. Key factors to its success include a a robust plan and good risk management.

Given the high importance of the project from poli cal, economical, environmental and social points of view, the fulfi lment of its objec ves should not be jeopardised even under pressure from increased costs which seem to be under control.

Works for the construc on of the sec on between Erfurt and Halle/Gröbers

2007-DE-01050-P • Part of Priority Project 1

This project is an important element of Priority Project 1, railway axis Berlin-Verona/Milano-Bologna-Napoli-Messina-Palermo, and was earmarked as one of the priority transport projects following the German reunifi ca on.

A sec on of 122 km will be constructed to enable a maximum speed of 300 km/h for mixed use of high speed passenger and freight transport. It will entail major new infrastructure works, including four new bridges of a total length of 4,553 m and two new tunnels totalling 8.5 km. The new track will be linked to Halle by a new connec on line and also stop at Leipzig/Halle airport.

The Mid-Term evalua on concluded that the project is progressing well and can be completed by the end of 2013 in line with the original plans, if not before. It has benefi ed from the na onal recovery plan.

Priority Project TEN no. 1 Brenner Base Tunnel - works

2007-EU-01180-P • Part of Priority Project 1

The Brenner Base Tunnel is the centrepiece project of Priority Project 1, railway axis Berlin-Verona/Milano-Bologna-Napoli-Messina-Palermo.

The 56 km cross-border tunnel across the Alps will remove a major bo leneck for both freight and passenger transit between Austria and Italy. This project foresees the construc on of two low-gradient parallel tunnels for the transport of heavy goods across the Alps.

Following an increase of capacity on this line of up to 45-50 million tonnes per year, a considerable shi from road to a high-quality rail service in this environmentally sensi ve area is envisaged.

The Mid-Term evalua on noted that the implementa on of the project has not yet started. However the project is now mature and can start immediately. The comple on of the project by the end of 2014 is feasible, provided that the following condi ons are met:

The two Member States:

• grant the offi cial authorisa on to launch Phase III (works) in 2010• guarantee the fi nancial coverage for the global project• annually make the necessary budget alloca ons to secure the required na onal fi nancial contribu ons throughout the

remaining implementa on period

The above would allow an early 2011 start of the construc on works in the Innsbruck and Franzensfeste/Fortezza sta ons and in the rescue and interconnec on tunnels in Innsbruck.

Priority Project TEN no. 1 Brenner Base Tunnel - studies

2007-EU-01190-S • Part of Priority Project 1

The Brenner Base Tunnel is the centrepiece project of Priority Project 1, railway axis Berlin-Verona/Milano-Bologna-Napoli-Messina-Palermo.

The 56 km cross-border tunnel across the Alps will remove a major bo leneck for both freight and passenger transit between Austria and Italy.

This project covers the excava on of several exploratory tunnels. The studies will serve to assess the costs and dura on of the construc on, as well as assess more accurately the risk to the overall project.

Apart from removing the geological risks, the construc on of the exploratory tunnels will also serve as an access and drainage system during the works and opera on of the main tunnels.

The Mid-Term evalua on concluded that despite the delays experienced in some ac vi es, notably in the construc on of the Steinach-Brenner exploratory tunnel, the project has an overall sa sfactory progress, in par cular given its complexity and risks. The comple on of the project by mid-2014 is feasible, provided that the following condi on is met:

• works on the Steinach-Brenner exploratory tunnel start by the end of 2010

Southern access line to Brenner

2007-IT-01030-M • Part of Priority Project 1

The Brenner Base Tunnel is the centrepiece project of Priority Project 1, Railway axis Berlin-Verona/Milano-Bologna-Napoli-Messina-Palermo.

This project concerns the southern access that is the link to complete the Brenner Corridor in Italy. It stretches from Verona to Fortezza, and has been divided into diff erent sec ons.

The project aims to fi nance the studies and works for the following sec ons:

• Fortezza-Ponte Gardena• Bolzano bypass• Trento bypass • Verona access

The Mid-Term evalua on took note that the project has not yet started and that the works to build the Trento bypass and Verona access are not expected to start before the end of 2015. Given this delay, it will not be possible to maintain the TEN-T support for these ac vi es. This entails a reduc on to the TEN-T contribu on of approximately €12.9 million. The comple on of the remaining ac vi es by the end of 2014 is feasible provided that the following condi ons are met:

• the fi nal design of the sec on “Fortezza-Ponte Gardena” and the Bolzano bypass start by the end of 2010• the fi nal design of the Trento bypass starts by the end of February 2011
