The contract includes the design and development of a 10.6 km section running between Misterbianco station and Ardizzone tunnel, with an investment close to €532 million. A second contract framed within the global overall contract includes an additional 900-metre section from Ardizzone tunnel to Paternò station and a train shed, raising €113 million to the investment amount.
In total, the project has a total length of 11.5 km, with an investment that might go up to €645 million. The awarded railway line starts in Ardizzone, after the Nesima-Misterbianco section, and ends to the north of Paternò, where the Paternò-Adrano section starts.
The line comprises four underground sections and four open air sections, including five stations: Giaconia, Belpasso, Valcorrente, Gullotta and Paternò; and two train sheds, one in Belpasso and other in Ardizzone, located mid-route and at the end of the route respectively.
