Ardanuy Ingeniería to participate in the design of “Caribe” Regional Train in Colombia

Ardanuy Ingeniería to participate in the design of “Caribe” Regional Train in Colombia

(26/01/2021) 


The ultimate goal of the project is to put into operation a commuter line that will connect the main cities of the coastal region of Colombia. The line will be built for both passenger and freight traffic.

The joint venture, comprised of Ardanuy Ingeniería and Coral Delgado y Asociados Abogados, will carry out the specialized consulting services to select the best alternative, out of three different alignment options, for this future rail network. The first two options, covering a total of 220 and 234 kilometres respectively, will begin their journey at the Cartagena terminal station and will conclude its trajectory in the city of Santa Marta where it will connect with the city’s current transport system. The third possibility has a planned route which would include connections to the major ports of the region.

Infrastructure

The new train infrastructure, which has received funding from the Caribe region’s administrative and decision-making body, the Órgano Colegiado de Administración y Decisión, is part of the “Commitment to Colombia” proposal, a guideline of pledges made by the current government to reactivate the economy and productivity in this new reality following the Covid-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, at the end of November 2020, the Colombian Government presented its “Master Railway Plan”, an ambitious program which places train travel at the centre of the country’s new investments. One of its numerous projects is the “Caribe” Regional Train.
