The contract, with a completion period of 12 months, includes the demand study, study and cataloging of the existing buildings in the scope of action, functional study, basic project and final project design, as well as the environmental studies required by ADIF to authorize the connection of the railway siding to the General Interest Railway Network (RFIG), in addition to the subsequent execution.
The project will develop a railway siding in a strategic location, improving an existing unused railway facility, which will serve the future Ponferrada Intermodal Logistics Platform, linked to the CyLoG installation, as a tool for the economic recovery and reindustrialization of the El Bierzo District. It will also facilitate the ecological transition by promoting more sustainable transport of goods, shifting cargo from the road to rail and contribute to the decarbonization of transport, in line with the strategies and objectives of the European Union.
The works to be developed in the project will be located in the La Placa area, in the municipality of Ponferrada (León), next to the ADIF Logistics Facility in Ponferrada and ADIF’s railway line 800, León – A Coruña.
