The objective of these studies is to assess the situation generated once the Pau-Canfranc line reopens for freight traffic, as well as to explore the feasibility of creating a direct freight route connecting this line with the Mediterranean Corridor without the need to pass through Zaragoza. To this end, a potential freight route that allows connection with the Pau-Canfranc international segment will be evaluated, thus addressing existing issues related to freight continuity.

The scope of this now tendered project, which has a 14-month timeline, is to produce preliminary studies detailed enough to support decision-making regarding the most viable options.

Options

There will be an analysis of the various potential interventions aimed at mitigating current operational challenges, along with estimating the financial investments and timelines associated with these actions. This study is included in the broader initiative funded by the Connecting Europe Facility focused on the reopening of the Pau-Canfranc line.
