Summary sheet
The project concerns the implementation of an interoperable dual gauge railway line along the Spanish Mediterranean coast from Castellbisbal (Barcelona) to Almussafes (Valencia), and the construction of a connection with the high-speed line Madrid-Barcelona-French border.
The project aims at ensuring railway interoperability for rail traffic between the French border and Algeciras in southern Spain along the Spanish Mediterranean coast.
The project is expected to decrease the negative impacts associated with road traffic and have positive impacts on the environment thanks to the modal transfer to rail.
The Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directive 2004/18/EC/ or 2004/17/EC and Directive 2007/66/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
