Corridor X Study

Italferr, in its role as leader of an international consortium, has received from the Government of Croatia, a Country shortly due to enter the Union, the mandate to carry out a Feasibility Study regarding modernisation of the Croatian railway network. This Study is financed by the European Commission.

In detail, a technical and financial analysis will be carried out on the Croatian part of the railway Corridor X (270 km). Starting from a transport analysis and an update of the previous master plan, this analysis leads to the identification of infrastructure construction priorities and the definition of technological standards.

Furthermore, the work includes a detailed study of the Okucani – Novska section (20 km) with revision and modernisation of the existing project, cost assessment, evaluation of the environmental impact, cost-benefit analysis and the preparation of a dossier for requesting community financing.

The Corridor X is the main roadway and railway communication axis in Croatia and one of the cornerstones of community transportation policy as it will connect Germany and Austria with Greece and Turkey.

Italferr continues its commercial expansion in the countries that once made up Yugoslavia, starting with the awarding of the work to design a new bridge on the Danube close to the city of Novi Sad and continuing with the assignment of the development of the Serbian National Transport Plan.


Work started in April 2009 and was completed in May 2010.
